Extract: The Better Jobs and Income Program (BJIP) was proposed in September 1977 by the Administration. If it had been enacted, it would have lifted more families from poverty by 1981 than the current welfare system. Based on analysis with a simulation model, BJIP would have also distributed benefits more equally among the four census regions and between metropolitan and nonmetropolitan areas. BJIP would have lowered the poverty rate more in nonmetropolitan areas. BJIP would have lowered the poverty rate more in nonmetropolitan areas than would the current system but would have cost more.
