California will receive billions in Recovery Act dollars to enhance assistance and services to unemployed Californians. Funds will expand job search assistance and training opportunities in high demand occupations like health care, as well as help create summer employment opportunities for youth. Funds are also going to provide unemployed Californians an additional $25 a week and extended benefits. In addition, Recovery Act dollars will go to upgrading computer systems and developing automated options to make it easier for the unemployed to start and manage their Unemployment Insurance (UI) claims.

Putting Californians back to work is Governor Schwarzenegger’s top priority and by using Recovery Act dollars to invest in the California Green Jobs Corps and the Allied Health Initiative, the Governor is preparing Californians to succeed in high-paying jobs in growing industries.
