One thousand young people in the Big Sandy Area, ages 16 to 24 , will be earning money while they gain valuable work experience. As part of the Federal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, Eastern Kentucky Concentrated Employment Program will work with Community Action Agencies in 23 eastern Kentucky counties to put an estimated 3,000 young people to work.
