Launched in Fall 2022 with support from public and private funders, the pilot yielded a tangible return on investment; most participants secured better-paying jobs with an average increase in income that nearly matched the incentive amount, creating sustainable improvement in their financial well-being. Employment nearly doubled from 37% to 66%, and job quality dramatically increased with greater employee benefits coverage: retirement plans nearly tripled, and life and disability insurance participation showed considerable improvements. Moreover, the ability to cover expenses was consistently boosted, and the savings rate among families with children leapt from 0% to 42%.
