Tashawna Green, 21, poses for a portrait with her daughter, Taishaun, 6, at her home in Queens Village, New York August 21, 2011. Green who up until recently worked 25 hours a week at Target, is on food stamps and says a good number of her colleagues are too. Green made $8.08 cents an hour working for Target. "It's a good thing that the government helps, but if employers paid enough and gave enough hours, then we wouldn't need to be on food stamps." Picture taken August 21, 2011.
