This year s theme is, Drive Safe. Work Safe. Save Lives. Â
Wednesday, April 28, is also Go Orange Day. Montana Department of Transportation is asking people show their support for work zone safety by wearing orange, snapping a photo and sharing it on social media with the hashtags #GoOrangeDay and #MontanaGoesOrange. This week is a big reminder that it takes a group of people to make good things happen, Jeremy Wilde, construction traffic control engineer with MDT, said. Our folks are out there and our contractor folks are out there working on the road, and everyday there s this risk out in the work zone. The main takeaway of this week is, I want folks to remember that there s loved ones on both sides of the traffic control. Â

Many people aspire to change jobs at the dawn of a new year, and such changes are more frequent than one might think.
According to a 2018 report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average person changes jobs between 10 and 15 times during his or her career. In addition, many workers spend five years or less in each job.
When leaving a job, it is important that professionals exhibit a certain measure of grace and etiquette. Leaving a job with dignity and mutual respect can benefit professionals in the short- and long-term.
⢠Speak with a supervisor first. Make sure your boss or immediate supervisor learns of your plans to leave the job first. Do not gossip or suggest to coworkers that youâre ready to leave. Itâs unprofessional if a supervisor hears of your impending departure from others.

U.S. President Joe Biden on Wednesday will propose that Congress spend $45 billion to provide free meals to millions more low-income children, a move that would expand anti-poverty measures adopted in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Biden wants lawmakers to fund the permanent expansion of a bridge program that gives low-income families cash to pay for food in the months when school is out for the summer and lunches arenât served. He is also asking to provide more money for free meals in high-poverty areas throughout the school year.
