Pennsylvania Workers Start State Run Jobs Plan
Eight hundred unemployed breadwinners in Pennsylvania were called to jobs under the work-or-get-off relief program. Forty-seven municipal and state projects, not suitable for WPA or private firms, began in the first week as the state aims to place about 200,000 able bodied relief recipients to work. The program comes as relief rolls hit a four year high and weekly relief costs neared two million dollars. Workers will earn prevailing wages and work only as long as needed to receive their relief checks.
