Data from the sample of the 400 respondents were used to estimate any information for <br />which an individual failed to provide sufficient information. <br />2.2.2 Description of Benefits <br />We now discuss the three benefits listed in section 2.2.1. <br />Additional Tax Revenue from Santa Ana WORK Center Clients — When a Santa Ana WORK <br />Center client got a new job during the study period, their income changed. For survey <br />respondents who were previously unemployed and find a job, there is an increase in income. <br />For respondents who previously had a job and then moved to a new job, their income may <br />have increased, decreased, or stayed the same. An increase in income leads to an increase in <br />taxes paid. However, when the new job pays less than the previous job, the individual's <br />income decreases which causes a decline in tax revenue. The total additional tax revenue <br />collected by the government is the overall net increase or decrease in taxes paid due to a <br />change in income. <br />Additional Tax Revenue from the Community — Finding a new job can increase, decrease or <br />leave income unchanged. When a respondent's income increases (or decreases), they spend <br />more (less) on purchasing taxable goods and services. These purchases provide increased <br />(reduced) income to the community providing those goods and services. This change in the <br />total income of the community results in a change in the taxes paid to the government by the <br />community. The total additional tax revenue collected by the government is the overall net <br />increase in the taxes paid by the community due to a change in the income of Santa Ana <br />WORK Center clients based on the telephone survey. <br />Reduction in Government Support — Finding a new job can also lead to a reduction in <br />government support received by respondents whose income increases due to a new job. <br />This reduction in support may be due to an individual no longer requiring a form of <br />government assistance or a change in eligibility status. In contrast, a decrease in income <br />could lead to an increase in government support provided. The overall net decrease in aid <br />provided by the govermnent is a benefit to the government. Survey results describing <br />reductions in government support associated with utilization of Santa Work Center <br />services are provided in Section 3.4 Returns not Estimated. <br />19F -287 <br />
