Seward advocates for better connections between job seekers and employers

ALBANY – State Senator James Seward (R-Oneonta) and the State Senate Task Force on Workforce Development are making efforts to improve connections between job seekers and employers.

The report gives legislative, budgetary, and policy recommendations which advocates say will help create new job opportunities for millions of job seekers throughout the state.
