Employment Office Sees Claims Drop in Vernal Utah
Unemployment compensation claims at the Vernal Utah State Employment and Security office fell as more workers returned to jobs. Manager C Heiner said 59 factory workers returned to work while several others left the area during a recent idle period. As of June 18, 182 registrants remained, down from 189 a year earlier, with construction cited as a major factor in reducing claims. Heiner urged local businesses to use USES screening to hire selectively and offered services to veterans and job counseling, plus labor market information and industrial services to improve personnel practices and community cooperation.
