THE GETTYSBURG TIMES, MONDAY, JUNE 21, 1876 Results Of Study Of Effect Of Guaranteed Yearly Income On U.S. Job Holders ByDEANKATZ Associated Press Writer SEATTLE (AP) A guaran teed annual income apparently doesn't prompt people who have jobs to quit them, says the director of a project in Seattle. federal pilot For the past years, 2,100 a 111 e-area welfare and middle-to low-income families have been participating in a fBO-mfflion study aimed at evaluating the economic and social effects of a guaranteed annual income or negative income tax. About 30 per cent of the families participating in the Seattle study were on welfare when selected for the program, the project's director, Joe Bell, said. Families get an annual payment of $3,600, $4,800 or $5,800 for a family of four, for a period of three or five years.

Any income a family has is offset on a sliding scale against the guaranteed income. NOT YET COMPLETE The data is not complete and figures haven't been compiled, said Bell, an official of the state Department of Social and Health Sevices, but "there is nothing to suggest that people drop out of the labor market when guaranteed an income." Larry Orr, director of research for the Department of Health, Education and Welfare's Office of Income Security Policy in Washington, D.C., concurred. Based on earlier studies in New Jersey, Iowa and North Carolina, there is little outright withdrawal from the labor market," he said, would be surprised if the results in. Seattle are markedly different." ANOTHER STUDY Orr said there is evidence however, "of a small reduction in the number of hours that people work." A similar study is being conducted in Denver with 3,600 families. Bell said the program in Seattle, which ends in November, was designed to answer four or five basic questions: Do people drop out of the job market? Are there any changes in family mobility and size? Will a family be enhanced in terms of stability? How will the demands for social services, rath public and private, be affected? Bell said there is not enough information in from the Seattle study to answer most of the questions with any certainty.

But he said studies elsewhere mve indicated, in addition to a of withdrawal from the job market, an improvement in low children of participating amilies do in school. He said amilies also tend to buy more durable goods. ADVERTISE IN THE TIMES PUBLIC AUCTION CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT Tuesday, June 22,1976 Starting At 10:00 A.M.
