Why Don t They Just Get a Job? describes the journey and the incredible results of Dave and Liane Phillips efforts to help those in poverty find their way to self sufficiency.

The not-for-profit offers a complete spectrum of free, lifetime employment services for the entry-level job-seeker to sustain and advance in today s work climate. The model is a winner of the 2009 Manhattan Institute Social Entrepreneur Award. Following its success, Dave Phillips is now volunteering as a consultant for similar programs in other cities.
