In his State of the Union Address, President Obama outlined his vision for a single, streamlined website where Americans can access information that will improve their job prospects — a resource to help turn our unemployment system into a reemployment system that puts people to work. The American Job Center website will consolidate information and services from across the government – access to job retraining and education opportunities, skills and career development and counseling -- into a single online resource for both job seekers and for businesses looking to tap into the vast resource of skilled and dedicated workers around the country.
