The results of another BIG pilot are here. This one was in L.A. and provided $1,000/mo for a year to 3,200 people and compared them to a control group of 5,000. Every household started in poverty and with kids or expecting.
Results:
"Across the board, the study reported no negative effects of cash payments on participants, who were 'significantly more likely to secure full-time employment than to remain unemployed not looking for work' than those in the control group."
