Jobs study suggests actions to encourage hiring of residents
(May 31, 2007)
A Committee of private sector employers in conjunction with some government employees, issued a report aimed at determining whether there are jobs currently held by nonresident workers that could be filled by qualified residents. The Committee members, who collectively employ over two thousand private sector jobs, reported that there are positions currently filled by nonresidents that can be filled by qualified residents. The Committee provided suggested actions to encourage the hiring of residents. The Committee also recommended the restructuring of the Department of Labor's DES&T's division to provide better services for both resident workers and CNMI employers.
