This is not surprising as there has been an over-50 % reduction [ to the welfare rolls ] since 1996 . Even as the economy has struggled , welfare rolls remain low . Many women and their families are being sanctioned from the welfare rolls , and often without a means to support themselves . As the welfare reforms of recent years take root and the economy does well , we are seeing more parents move off welfare rolls and into this category . States have made other changes in regulations , making it more difficult to enter and to stay on the welfare rolls in both good and bad economic times .
