Answer to Question 1

FALSE

Answer to Question 2

From the decision-maker's point of view, there is greater risk in hiring an uneducated welfare recipient instead of a college student. If an uneducated welfare recipient is hired, there may be disruption in the workplace resulting from skilled, educated employees working with an unfamiliar type of co-worker. The value of hiring an uneducated welfare recipient is twofold: First, there may be a greater likelihood of assisting someone with a family (i.e., more individuals would benefit); and, second, the firm would further the current governmental and societal initiative to move individuals from Welfare to Work.
