When a struggling mother of two in Milwaukee hits hard times, she turns to a local welfare office for help \u2014 a welfare office outsourced to a private, for-profit company. Inside, staff preach the power of work, place people into unpaid \u201cwork experience\u201d and enforce work requirements for welfare recipients, all in the name of teaching self-sufficiency.

Host Krissy Clark takes listeners into the world of for-profit welfare companies to examine America\u2019s welfare-to-work system, work requirements and the multimillion-dollar industry that\u2019s grown up around it.
