Has Your Job or Business Been Impacted by Hurricane Sandy?

While waiting in line to get into Sea Bright on Tuesday I overhead a woman telling her friends that she was fired due to the hurricane.  She couldn't get to work from the shelter where she was staying. Since then I've heard other people wondering about the same thing.

Today I received a note from my friend and former co-worker, Mary Ellen Clark, Assistant Commissioner of Labor, Workforce Development at New Jersey describing the information available to those impacted by the storm. I can't attach the pdf. files here but they are on the website. 

"Here are two fact sheets, which are also posted on www.jobs4jersey.com with information for both employers and individuals in NJ who have been impacted due to Sandy. NJ was awarded a 15.6 million National Emergency grant and working with local municipalities for them to hire to do clean up and humanitarian work. Almost all of our One-Stop Career Centers are open as of today (exceptions being Eatontown and New Brunswick who may still be without power), people can go there to get help and internet access. We have a SandyHelp hotline and email set up to answer inquiries and help direct people to assistance – info on the fast fact sheets. As we get set up for the emergency grant and temporary work, we will be using our 23 Jersey Job Clubs as places for information about temporary and volunteer work – the calendars for workshops are up on the www.jobs4jersey.com website."
