Secretary of Labor Announces Continued Assistance for Ohio Workers Laid Off From Jobs at Wilmington |
|
While in Ohio today, Secretary of Labor Hilda L. Solis announced a
$2,932,835 National Emergency Grant supplemental award to provide
services to an additional 729 workers affected by layoffs at Wilmington
Air Park in Wilmington, Ohio. Following an initial grant in November
2008 and one other previous award of supplemental funding with
dislocated workers added as more layoffs occurred, a total of
approximately 2,360 individuals now will be served.
"President Obama and I are committed to helping Ohio's families get
back on their feet and to getting all Americans back to work," said
Secretary Solis. "This supplemental funding expands greatly needed
re-employment assistance for workers in the Buckeye State. It also
ensures that those already benefitting from employment and training
services can continue this preparation for new, family-supporting
jobs."
The supplemental funding announced today is being awarded to the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services.
