One-Stop Job Centers

En español | With unabating high unemployment rates among Latinos, local career centers can offer critical resources for finding jobs. And it's all free: skills assessment, interview techniques, job listings, phones, computers and more. Some 3,000 of these government-funded centers are available to job seekers, from those with limited education and work experience to people with advanced degrees and years in the workplace.
