Job training programs face cuts



In case you missed Chas Sisk's story in the Sunday Tennessean business section, he reports on federal job programs being cut at a time when they appear to be most needed:

Labor experts and political leaders are stressing the need for workers to earn high-tech certifications like Bloom’s to compete in the modern economy.
But as the nation deals with a recession and as unemployment rises, the state and local officials in charge of the federally funded programs that teach these skills are adjusting to cuts that have taken more than $10 million out of their budgets over the last three years.
