To what extent is each of these programs likely to be effective at increasing the employment opportunities of welfare workers? Giving firms $2 per hour for every individual on welfare who is hired O A. is likely to be unsuccessful because firms hire workers such that the marginal revenue product of labor equals the marginal cost of labor, and this approach reduces the marginal cost of labor by $2, decreasing employment.
