State helps jobless Ohioans head east for work
The Ohio relocation program uses a 200 cash grant and bus charters to move unemployed residents to out of state jobs eastward. Since August nearly 200 have left Belmont and Washington counties for Atlantic City casinos and hotels, with others taking Chem-Lawn jobs in Philadelphia and Boston. Some officials question the policy as welfare relief while workers praise new livelihoods and Trump casino expansion plans.
