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.
