6. Retired Labor Specialist - Back ground in the Unemployment Insurance Program.

I was an employment specialist for the Colorado Job Service for 24 years. I started out as a claims taker in the unemployment insurance office. I also worked as a liason to the governor's ombudsman for several months in 1974 - 1975 working on problem unemployment claims that were not paying due to a huge overload from a recession in January 1975. I worked in the main UI administrative office for 4 months directly under the State Director of the Unemployment Claims Division. That was before I became and employment specialist for a welfare to work program (WIN) for 6 years.

I was an employment program specialist until I retired 14 years ago. I worked veterans programs, a homeless program day labor operations, group unemployment claims taking, Job seeking counseling, job development, public relations, public service employment contracts, federal OJT contracts for welfare clients, etc.

What is your state and what is the situation?
