I recieved the following question: 
 
Jeff, I've taken over as Work Activity Chief, ODJFS, Office of Family 
Stability. I attended the 
TANF/LD meeting the other day at ORSC. I was hoping to get a chance to 
talk to you about obtaining statistics. Do you have any solid 
statistics that identify the percentage of the population that have 
multiple or severe barriers to employment? Some time ago, I think there 
was some data from the Census, but It would be nice to have more 
current data if it's available. Do you have access to anything? 
 
I have minimal information, but thought I'd post this to see if others 
are aware of statistical information of which I'm not aware. Any help 
would be appreciated.
