Gov. Kathy Hochul Looks to Fill 18,000 New York Jobs with Border Crossers

‘We have a two-for-one solution here’

EXCERPT:

HOCHUL: “Those who came before July 31st are actually eligible for this. So, this is the best news we could have had in this short time frame as we've been trying to find solutions to this problem. So, I want to say, when we put out the call not sure what the answer would be to employers. Are you willing to consider hiring these people once they can start working? And literally tomorrow, the window opens for people to start applying for TPS. And luckily for me, because I tested it out, the app is simple. It's not cumbersome, it's easy to do, and we're going to have literally hundreds of people out there trying to help identify them. But the question I had was, will the employers be interested in this program? Well, guess what? We already have nearly 400 employers who stood up who said, 'Yes. Yes, we will embrace them. We'll hire them. We'll give them that shot at the American dream that they've wanted for themselves and their families.' So as soon as they were able to work, we'll have the people available. But how many jobs does almost 400 employers equate to -- 18,000 jobs are already available, waiting for people who signed up in the portal. So, that's incredible.”
