Max: Unemployment Claims Center Closed

Via STLToday

The Missouri Department of Labor is closing down the St. Louis Regional Claims Center as of Aug. 31, resulting in the loss of 63 jobs.

St. Louis workers said they got layoff letters Friday morning notifying them that Aug. 31 would be their last day at work, unless they were offered a job at one of the three remaining regional call centers in Kansas City, Jefferson City and Springfield.

The call centers handle claims for unemployment benefits.


When asked where the 63 soon to be laid off claims center employees should go to claim unemployment benefits, a representative of the Missouri Department of Employment Security said, "Oh ... ummmmm ... well ... shit."

funny. I have only found good jobs on a few sites lately:

http://www.realmatch.com
http://www.simplyhired.com
http://www.craigslist.com

Lots of employers & recruiters are abandoning the "pay to post a job" model in favor of these free employment sites. So I dont see lots of jobs on the same sites that were popular 5 years ago.
