Creve Coeur Patch Launching "Who's Hiring" Feature
Starting Friday, we'll give you a weekly list of five employment opportunities from Creve Coeur and neighboring communities.
The job market took a hit several years ago with the recession, and overall the outlook is something of a mixed bag. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported on June 29 that unemployment in St. Louis inched-up in May. The newspaper indicated 2,900 jobs were cut in the month, expanding the St. Louis jobless rate 8.6 percent.
Thousands of St. Louis County residents continue to rely on government help. According to the Missouri Department of Labor & Industrial Relations, 9,960 county residents received unemployment benefits as of May 2011. More than 4,000 workers from St. Louis City received benefits at the same time.
Jefferson City hasn’t ignored the issue. Missouri Watchdog reported in April that Governor Jay Nixon signed a bill extending unemployment benefits. State Sen. Jim Lembke of St. Louis County said the bill was wasteful spending, the news site reported.
