U.S.
LOSES 533,000 JOBS IN
NOVEMBER - UNEMPLOYMENT HITS 6.7%
IAJVS
MOBILIZES TO CONFRONT UNEMPLOYMENT CRISIS!
International
Association of Jewish Vocational Services (IAJVS)
THE
IAJVS RAPID RESPONSE TO RISING UNEMPLOYMENT:
At
the organization's annual conference in Phoenix Arizona during
the first week of November, the CEOs of IAJVS affiliated agencies
voted to dispense with the planned agenda, turned the meeting
into a strategic planning session and developed a national
strategy to help confront the evolving unemployment crisis.
IAJVS Executive Director Genie Cohen stated, "IAJVS historically
has been one of the major "first responders" to
address rising unemployment."
In
recent months, the current economic crisis in the United States
has resulted in the collapse of major insurance companies,
the effective end of major US investment banks, sustained
significant losses by the country's financial markets and
the possible bankrupting of the US automotive industry. Resulting
from the new economic reality is the threat of massive unemployment
not witnessed in this country since the Great Depression of
the 1930s.
This
week IAJVS issued the white paper "Without
Work" to emphasize the problems associated
with the escalating massive increase in U.S. unemployment
and to publicize the commitment of the organization to developing
and implementing programs and services that will get people
back into the workforce. The full paper may be downloaded
from the IAJVS website at www.iajvs.org
Since
the meeting in Phoenix, IAJVS workgroups have held national
conference calls focused on further mobilizing its own national
system and developing mechanisms to communicate with
decision makers in every sector about the urgent need for
strategies and resources to address this problem.In addition,
the workgroups commissioned the creation of this e-newsletter
to advise the public of IAJVS programs and services on a regular
basis.
WORKFORCE
DEVELOPMENT STAFF AT IAJVS AFFILLIATED AGENCIES ACROSS THE
NATION ARE NOW AVAILABLE TO HELP ALL AMERICANS WHO ARE "WITHOUT
WORK."
