SOURCE:
This table was constructed based on all responses
to questions 3, 6, 12a, 13, 14a, and 15 of the client
survey.
NOTE:
The percentages in this table, unlike those in most other
tables, were calculated without leaving out item nonresponses (labeled
“unknown”). Because this table was constructed combining responses to
several questions, excluding item nonresponses could have caused
confusion. All responses were weighted as described in Chapter 3
and in
the Technical Appendix
volume to represent all emergency food clients or
households of the A2H National Network.
a Includes only households with at least one adult younger than age 65.
As shown in Table 5.7.2, when we consider the employment status of all adults in client households, 14.6% are employed full-time, 13.2% are employed part-time, and the remaining 72.2% are currently unemployed. Details of the employment status of adult clients who come to program sites follow:
- Overall, 9.7% of the adult clients at program sites are currently employed full-time; 12.9% employed part-time.
- 8.0% of the clients have recently lost their job, having been unemployed for three months or less.
- 11.6% of all clients have been unemployed for one to two years.
- 41.5% of all clients have not worked for more than two years.
- Among those who have worked before or are currently working, 15.7% either had or currently have managerial or professional jobs.
- 3.4% of the clients had never worked; of these, n.p.% are
participating in government-sponsored job training or work experience
programs.
