Brubaker to Host Unemployment Seminar for Local Residents

HARRISBURG - Sen. Mike Brubaker (R-36) will host a seminar to help district residents cope with unemployment on Wednesday, January 13 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Ephrata Recreation Center.

The seminar will include information from state and local agencies to help individuals handle the financial difficulties of unemployment and learn more about the best ways to find a new job. Consumer protection advocates will also be available to offer advice on how to avoid employment scams and identity theft.

"It is important for job-seekers to use every resource available to get back on the road to financial security," Brubaker said. "I am very hopeful that the information offered at this seminar will help district residents to find safe, stable employment opportunities in the area."

The seminar will include representatives from the Pennsylvania Department of Labor, PA CareerLink, the Lancaster County Assistance Office, the Pennsylvania Attorney General's Office and the Lancaster County Bar Association.

More information on the seminar is available by calling Brubaker's district office at (717) 627-0036.
