Governor Cuomo Announces Launch of "Jobs Express" Website to Help Unemployed New Yorkers Find Job Openings

More Than 42,000 Job Openings Currently Listed in Job Bank By Region  

Albany, NY (October 31, 2011) Governor Andrew M. Cuomo today announced the launch of "Jobs Express," a new website designed to help New Yorkers who are seeking employment.
The site takes thousands of jobs listed on the New York State Jobs Bank and sorts them by region to help job seekers evaluate what industries are growing in their area and find out what opportunities are available in specific economic sectors. 
To visit Jobs Express, go to http://www.labor.ny.gov/jobs/regional.shtm.
"The Jobs Express website makes it easier for New Yorkers to learn about what jobs are available and to know where to find them," Governor Cuomo said. "Not only does this website put unemployed New Yorkers in touch with employers, but job seekers can also get the latest on topics such as resume writing and interview techniques. I encourage every employer who is looking for workers to post their vacancies with the New York State Job Bank. "
