Rural Development Perspectives, v7 n2 p21-26 Feb-May 1991

Describes the Job Opportunities and Basic Skills Program (JOBS) which creates education, training, and employment opportunities for those who receive Aid to Families with Dependent Children. Questions the effectiveness for rural areas resulting from: (1) limited employment opportunities; (2) characteristics of the eligible rural population; and (3) adequacy of local service delivery systems, including transportation and child care.
