‘Jobs Express’ website lists more than 1,400 openings in North Country

Posted

Gov. Andrew Cuomo is urging New Yorkers looking for work to use Jobs Express at http://www.labor.ny.gov/jobs/regional.shtm, a website designed to help New Yorkers with more than 74,000 job openings available.

The site has helped more than 59,000 individuals find work since its October 2011 launch, according to a news release from the governor’s office. As extended unemployment benefits expire for thousands of New Yorkers this month, the governor urges long-term unemployed now more than ever to apply for these jobs.

There are more than 1,400 listings in the North Country category, which includes St. Lawrence Lewis, Franklin, Jefferson, Hamilton, Essex and Clinton counties. The job categories with the most listings are in the health field, food preparation and serving, office work and sales.

"Jobs Express has been a resounding success for more than 59,000 formerly unemployed New Yorkers who were able to find a job," Cuomo said. "More than 4,600 employers across the state are hiring now and I urge all New Yorkers who are looking for work to visit Jobs Express."

Jobseekers can also visit one of the Department of Labor’s 88 one-stop career centers, including the one at the county Human Services Building in Canton, for expert assistance in job interview preparation.
