A successful program that can be replicated throughout the country. Dave and Liane Phillips created Cincinnati Works, a not-for-profit company that offers free employment services and has brought $25 million in wages locally to over 1,500 families. In addition to telling their incredible story, Why Don’t They Just Get a Job? serves as a how-to for other communities and individuals interested in fighting poverty and its effects.

A unique, proven business model that can bring benefits to the whole country. The program explained in Why Don’t They Just Get a Job? explains a unique and realistic poverty-to-work program that can save taxpayer dollars and bring sustainable prosperity to individuals and communities across the United States.

An inspiring story of a mission to bring hope to the hopeless. In a time when millions of men, women, and children reside in the long shadow of poverty, the Phillips’s compassion and innovation in solving a complex and widespread problem is timely, motivational, and uplifting.
