Frontline workers fulfill a critical role in the implementation of the Job Opportunities and Basic Skills Training (JOBS) program, a welfare employment program authorized under the Family Support Act of 1988. This study of frontline workers finds that workers perceived their agencies as emphasizing the opportunities available to clients under the JOBS program rather than clients' obligations to participate in the program. In addition, these workers viewed the supply of most education, training, and employment services as adequate to serve JOBS participants. However, at the time of the study, states were required to serve only 7 percent of the nonexempt Aid to Families with Dependent Children caseload in the JOBS program, and some states were only beginning to enroll clients into services
