"New York Gov. Hochul Creates Job Opportunities for Asylum Seekers and Venezuelan Migrants Amidst Influx"

New York Governor Kathy Hochul has announced the availability of 18,000 jobs for eligible asylum seekers and migrants in response to the influx of over 125,000 people in New York City. The state's Department of Labor has identified job openings in various sectors, including accommodation and food services, healthcare, manufacturing, and administrative support. Governor Hochul called on businesses to sign up for more job opportunities and urged Washington and Congress to expand work authorizations for a wider range of migrants. The job openings are spread across different regions in the state, with New York City having the most positions available. The move comes as Mayor Eric Adams implements a decompression strategy to alleviate the burden on the city.
