Keith Lawing, head of the Workforce Alliance for South Central Kansas, says that he didn’t spend all of his federal stimulus summer jobs money last summer so he’ll have a good bit of money left for another jobs program next summer. I don’t know exact numbers.
He had meant to spend $2 million to hire hire 500 young adults to do various jobs, but he said many who applied didn’t meet the income requirements or simply didn’t follow through on the applications.

The Riverbank improvement projects would a very good application for this work. A whole lot of experience is not needed; however the strength and endurance of young people IS needed.
