The impacts of the Great Recession greatly tested the nation's social safety net. During this monumental economic downturn, the number of Unemployment Insurance (UI) recipients doubled from 10 million to 20 million, and the number receiving benefits through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) ballooned from 20 million to 50 million. Many who lost their jobs became eligible for UI and often SNAP, too. Many already receiving SNAP lost jobs and became eligible for UI. While both programs were stressed, they proved to be flexible enough to respond to the needs of many of the victims of the recession. But little has been known about how the two programs interacted and how policies governing them may be altered to better respond to hardship when future downturns occur. This book shows that each program has considerable effects on the other and that policies governing them could be altered to better serve recipients of both programs. O Leary, Stevens, Wandner, and Wiseman present a group of papers using administrative data from six states compiled before, during, and after the Great Recession that show how the programs interact while highlighting factors that affect benefit eligibility and levels. Besides the state-specific chapters, the editors also present chapters that detail the background of the UI and SNAP programs and present a review of previous research on SNAP and UI interactions.

Leadership Proverbs Wisdom for Today's Leaders

"What I didn't realize initially was that learning to practice medicine overseas was the easy part." As a first year medical missionary in Kenya, Dr. David Stevens was prepared and well-trained to use his medical skills to help serve and care for the needy people in Africa. But his years spent in medical school and family practice residency certainly didn't prepare or train him for the myriad of other responsibilities he faced-governance, management, administration, recruitment, community health, spiritual ministry, development, staff discipline, fundraising and the list goes on and on. As a healthcare missionary in today's landscape, the success of your ministry depends on your ability to manage the non-medical tasks you encounter each and every day. Dr. Stevens uses his own personal experiences, expertise and insight to guide you through these topics and many others. With easy-to-use principles and practical advice designed to inspire and encourage you as you carry out your call in service to the Lord, this book is a must-have resource to help you go Beyond Medicine.

Servant Leadership is the most effective type of leadership in today's world. But what does it mean to be a servant leader? And how do you do it? You may not know how to practice this type of leading, but do you recognize it when you see it? Though many people are attracted to the concept of being a servant leader in their homes, workplaces and community, they don't know where to begin. Old habits are hard to break. In their second collaboration, Dr. David Stevens and Bert Jones use pithy and succinct proverbs to teach you how to become the servant leader you desire to be. And as you apply these principles, you will become the servant leader God designed you to be, to influence generations of servant leaders to come.
