Effect (logged-odds) of State Benefit Level from Models of AFDC Recipiency and Type of AFDC Exit, by Nativity and Race/ethnicity

		Type of AFDC Exit
	AFDC Recipiency	Emp. Exit vs. Staying on AFDC	Emp. Exit vs. Non-Emp. Exit	Non-Emp. Exit vs. Staying on AFDC
White Natives	0.15 * C	0.14	0.42 B	−0.29 +
Black Natives	0.06 C	−0.10	−0.20 A C	0.10 c
Mexican Immigrants	−0.23 * A B	0.26	0.54 * B	−0.28 + b
Non-Mexican Immigrants	0.40 *** A B C	−0.02	0.23	−0.25
Chi-square test for all interaction effects	p<.001		p<.05
Pseudo R-square	0.26		0.20

Source and Sample: See Table 1.

Note: These models control for individual and contextual characteristics (see Table 2 for details). The models also include two-way interactions between nativity/race/ethnicity and state welfare benefit level. The estimates shown are the slopes of state benefit level by nativity/race/ethnicity (i.e., the main effect of state benefit level plus the interaction effect for each respective group).

⁺p<.10

^*p<.05

^**p<.01

^***p<001 (slope of state welfare guarantee is significantly different from zero)

^ap<.10

^Ap<.05 (slope is significantly different from White natives)

^bp<.10

^Bp<.05 (slope is significantly different from Black natives)

^cp<.10

^Cp<.05 (slope is significantly different from Mexican Immigrants)
