For too long now, policymakers have looked at workforce development as though all workers were the same, with the same needs and the same problems. Not Just Getting By documents how policymakers must step outside of this one-size-fits-all box. The authors show that workforce development policies that are sensitive to the needs of all kinds of workers including ones with family responsibilities will be more effective in the long run in moving individuals toward stable employment. This book is a must read for those interested in bringing workforce development policy into the 21st century.--Heather Boushey

After all the talk we have heard about family values, this book builds on New Jersey's success to show a clear way that government can actually work to value families. This book outlines how a flexible workforce can help all Americans reach economic self-sufficiency by training on their own terms and on their own time.--Representative Rush Holt
