Layoff Assistance

Picture
If you have been laid off at no fault of your own and are eligible to receive unemployment insurance, please complete the survey below.  This is typically due to mass layoff, plant closure, or disaster like the COVID-19 pandemic.  ​You could receive assistance with job search, resume preparation, interviewing tips, and training opportunities.  At the end of the survey you can choose whether or not to be contacted by a Livingston Workforce Services representative.  All information provided is kept confidential.
