New resource available for local businesses and jobseekers

Local businesses and jobseekers dealing with specific employment issues from COVID-19 have a new resource to turn to.
The JobsStratford page on the investStratford website has resources to assist in both job search and job posting as the area continues to reopen from the pandemic, according to the Stratford Economic Response and Recovery Task Force.
They say the JobsStratford page also features popular feeds to various search engines, the newest of which is Connect2Jobs, a new jobs website that pulls vacancies for the region into one place for easy access.

Officials say Stratford and Perth County have enjoyed a historically below-average unemployment rate but the pandemic has shifted the balance with the region’s unemployment rate at the end of May at 9.3% compared to a 4.9% pre-pandemic rate in February.
