Laid-off workers could lose job-training help By PATRICK CONDON, AP
Across the country, thousands of laid-off workers - many of them from smaller companies in thinly populated states - stand to lose job-retraining opportunities because of a little-noticed change in the way the government pays for such programs.
The new Labor Department rules, adopted earlier this year, bar the longtime practice under which states 'bundled' small groups of laid-off workers from separate companies to reach the threshold of 50 employees needed to obtain training dollars.
The rule change could make it more difficult for workers who lose jobs at small companies to get training help. Thinly populated states like Iowa will be hardest hit, since many people there work at smaller companies.------------------------------------------- posted 8:59 AM :: reference link ::
