Yes Employment Services says it’s already seeing the economic impact of COVID-19 locally. CEO LeeAnne Maille says they are seeing it in two areas.

“We are experiencing employers who are putting some of their job postings on hold until they see what happens. We’re also getting new people come and register and are facing a layoff,” she says.

Maille says they’re connecting those people with employment consultants right away.

She says they are not physically open but their staff can be reached for support via video chat, telephone or e mail.

Maille says one of the benefits is people from the various service providers are communicating information about some of the changes they’re undergoing.
