Employers are hiring now, some offering hiring bonuses or higher pay to fill their open positions, and those who act now will likely have opportunities that won’t be available come fall.
For those who became unemployed during the pandemic, being in Doña Ana County is one of the best places to be for getting back to work especially if that means switching to a career that’s in a new field. And for youth, there is an incredible opportunity this summer with a youth summer job program that is already paid for by federal dollars.
