WASHINGTON — The Labor Department is hoping a popular new friend can help unemployed workers find jobs.
Labor Secretary Hilda Solis, right, recently announced a partnership with Facebook designed to connect the jobless with companies that are hiring. The Social Jobs Partnership will aggregate a variety of existing, but often little-known, job-search services on a new Facebook page in hopes of drawing more attention to them.
“Landing on this page can help Americans land good jobs,” Solis said at a Washington news conference with representatives from Face book, the National Association of Colleges and Employers, the National Association of State Workforce Agencies and the Direct Employers Association.
