Many of the City of Newburgh residents are unemployed not because they are lazy, they just need something to work with.
Unfortunately too many of City of Newburgh residents are only equip to handle entry-level positions, due to their lack of education & skill-set. So many become discouraged and retire their job search because many of the options are not commiserate with their credentials.
So yes we need to create jobs within the City of Newburgh but we also need to promote higher education (job training) as well.
