Fresh basic income pilot results, this time from Arlington, Virginia where 200 people got $500 a month for 2 years. The findings:

Employment INCREASED by 16%, and their incomes from paid work INCREASED by 37%. The control group saw no such gains.

Nearly three-quarters of the treatment group also reported improved mental and physical well-being and an increased sense of control, compared to the control group.
