If you are out of work due to the pandemic and looking for employment at this time, the Pennsylvania Department of Labor has launched a new online COVID-19 job portal.
From Cozen O'Connor's daily digest: "People seeking employment can visit www.PAcareerlink.pa.gov and select the green “PA COVID-19 Jobs – Hiring Immediately” job portal banner to see active job openings with life-sustaining businesses. Selecting the “Apply Now” button for a listed position will redirect individuals to the employer’s website or email where they can apply directly with the employer and speed up the hiring process. Life-sustaining businesses can feature their job openings on the portal through an online form. Businesses must meet the criteria of a life-sustaining business and must have more than 10 job openings . The PA COVID-19 job portal is updated daily so businesses in need are spotlighted and people searching for employment have the latest job information."
