| HELPING THE PEOPLE WHO ARE JOBLESS IN OUR COMMUNITY This program lists hundreds of jobs across the United States. Its New York-area component, known as ParnossahWorks, is responsible for filling more than 500 jobs in the last two years. Now, the OU has gone national in its job placement efforts. These programs have been created to deal with a serious concern in the Jewish community: unemployment. Unlike other communities, our jobless tend to be highly trained and educated.The unemployed range from people who have run companies to entry-level workers. Others are re-entering the market. Joblessness is a major personal problem, causing great anguish in families, with serious repercussions on spouses and children, besides the job seeker. Our jobs programs were created and are available AT NO COST TO YOU. Do you know of any job openings in your community? We have applicants to fill them. PLEASE help us to offer jobs to highly educated and qualified people in your area. PLEASE take our outstretched hand and let us work for you. Let's work together to get people back on their feet. Please contact me directly with any jobs you wish listed. It's simple, it's free, and the job will be posted within 24 hours. Those seeking employment should contact: Michael
