Why This Educated Single Mom Can't Get Off Welfare I recently visited an old friend, a 40-year-old woman I've known for 25 years, who graduated from University of California Berkley with an economics degree and worked in Silicon Valley in marketing before returning to her hometown of Milwaukee 10 years ago. We recently bonded over our single motherhood, and she shared about her financial situation, which is largely subsidized by state benefits. My friend is an example of the middle class stuck in a grey zone-- earning a middle-class income, but unable to afford a modest existence without government help. The benefits are so valuable that she is not motivated to earn any more than she does, lest she lose her state benefits.
