— ANNAPOLIS (AP) — Maryland has launched a new tool on a website to help people find jobs.
Gov. Martin O’Malley on Tuesday announced an expansion of the Maryland Workforce Exchange. It brings together job search websites, employer websites and every job posting in Maryland in one place.
The announcement comes as the U.S. Labor Department announced that Maryland’s unemployment rate rose from 7.1 percent in July to 7.3 percent in August.
Republican Robert Ehrlich, O’Malley’s opponent in the November election, said creating a website isn’t enough after four years in office.
The Maryland Workforce Exchange identifies advertised Maryland jobs by industry, location and how to apply.
