Tuesday, March 31st, 2009

A new round of funding will help create Boston summer jobs.

Mayor Thomas M. Menino recently announced that the City of Boston’s summer jobs program will receive $4 million from the 2010 operating budget. Money for the program will come from American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds, as well as state and local funding that will equal $9 million.

“A summer job is a short-term experience, but it yields long-term benefits – not just for the teen or the employer, but for our City,” Menino said in a press release. “Working together, we can continue to provide positive and enriching opportunities for our young people, creating a more vibrant future for Boston.”

“Industry leaders blame the job decline on the poor economy and lending restrictions that prevent developers from getting money to start work on homes and commercial buildings,” the article notes. “In addition, many homeowners are delaying renovations, another source of jobs.”
