abstract: 'I provide an overview of research findings spanning many dimensions of

  policies intended to increase jobs or increase income from work. Among

  job creation policies, there is some evidence that well-designed hiring

  credits or steep wage subsidies can increase the number of jobs, and

  business-friendly tax policies may spur job growth although also

  increasing income inequality. Evidence on enterprise zones generally

  does not establish job creation effects. The earned income tax credit

  successfully raises income from work, whereas a higher minimum wage

  entails some job loss and does not do a good job at delivering benefits

  to poor families.'
