Summer Jobs Program
KENTUCKY...
A federally subsidized summer jobs program was able to find temporary work for 9,314 low-income youths and adults with children in Kentucky last year.
The state has compiled figures for the WorkNow Kentucky program and says 1,442 people were able to get a permanent job as a result of the program.
Gov. Steve Beshear's office says the program used $27.7 million in federal stimulus funds, and the state added a little more than $1 million to cover the balance required by the federal government.
State figures show nearly 3,000 public, private and nonprofit employers had the opportunity to employ temporary workers through the program.
