...adopt a $700,000 reform package to help people like her get back into the job market. But she's not exactly thrilled. While the plan would provide educational assistance and child-care support, Vermont is following the lead of several other state plans by imposing a two-year limit on benefits for many recipients. That is, get a job or get off the dole. "It isn't that people don't want to work," Brooking insists. "It's that there are no jobs out there...
