"As unemployment grows, these <br />vital resources will allow us to temporarily stabilize the dislocated workers in some <br />of our hardest hit industries until they can get back on their feet." <br />Los Angeles County <br />The Los Angeles County Workforce Development, Aging & Community Services <br />(WDACS) will launch a Worker Resiliency Fund to help those job seekers most <br />heavily impacted by the global pandemic. <br />"In partnership with the state and trusted, community -based organizations, we <br />intend to provide outreach to the English language learner communities in the Los <br />Angeles area," said WDACS Acting Dierctor, Otto Solorzano.
