Today the front page of the Norman Transcript carried a story that’s becoming all too familiar. Facing a nearly $9 million shortfall, the City of Norman will eliminate three dozen positions. Twelve of those positions are currently vacant. That means 24 people will lose their jobs. Their last day is June 3.
Many people have faced being laid off in the past couple of years. And many of them don’t know where to turn for help. The State of Oklahoma offers some resources online. At this site you can find out how to file for unemployment, where to look for new jobs and how to get training.
Sometimes finding a new job can be tough… forcing you to look for help with food, housing or healthcare. Norman is an excellent community for these kind of services. And you can find information on every service available in one place.
United Way of Norman has put together a Community Resource Guide. This guide has phone numbers, websites and information on all of the services available in Norman.
