The U.S. Labor Department is granting Maine $1,718,750 to help 673 state employees who lost their jobs due to restructuring and downsizing.

"In this era of change it is imperative that we provide the necessary training, retraining and support services for Americans who suddenly find themselves without jobs," said Labor Secretary Robert B. Reich. "This country needs the talents and skills of all its workers."

The grant, authorized under the Job Training Partnership Act, will provide a number of services including assessment, job search and placement assistance and job training. Supportive services such as transportation and dependent care assistance, emergency medical care, housing, clothing, tools and equipment will also be available.
