RECOMMENDATION
Texas should promote the employment of dependents of military reservists who
are called to serve during the war effort.
COMMENTS:
" The Texas Workforce Commission (TWC), in conjunction with local workforce
development boards and local chambers of commerce, has the ability, the tools and
the duty to promote the availability of jobs in Texas.
" The agency also assists targeted populations in receiving employment.
" The potential exists for the state to provide assistance in finding employment for
unemployed spouses of reservists called away from home.
" This effort could include TWC reaching out to private sector employers to deter-
mine those that would be open to providing priority hiring status to spouses of
reservists and emergency personnel who are called away from home to serve their
country in this time of war. Once determined, a list of these employers and their job
openings could be made publicly available and qualified applicants could respond
appropriately and at their own discretion.
