       386 students in New Orleans got $200 a month in basic income. As a result, they missed fewer days of school, their reading test scores grew by nearly double those of the control group, and they enjoyed more financial stability than the control group.https://www.nola.com/news/education/guaranteed-income-study-expands-to-more-high-schoolers/article_b1636f56-5692-11ef-97bd-57631bf1517c.html
