State mobilizes ‘rapid response event’ to address federal layoffs
The Montana Department of Labor and Industry has set up a “Rapid Response Event” to help the hundreds of Montanans who were recently fired in a mass federal workforce reduction find new jobs.
In a Friday morning press release, the agency said it set up the event, scheduled for Wednesday, March 12, to “guide affected workers back into the workforce.” Impacted workers who attend the event can also receive assistance filing unemployment insurance claims.
