SD effort seeks to get jobless back to work sooner

• PIERRE, S.D. (AP) -- Gov. Dennis Daugaard says the South Dakota Labor Department is starting a new effort to get people receiving unemployment benefits back to work sooner.
• Daugaard says the Re-Employment Intensive Services initiative begins Tuesday. He says it will offer training and other services to help jobless people find meaningful, suitable jobs.
• People getting unemployment benefits currently have to search for work.
• The new program will require all people who get unemployment benefits for more than 10 weeks to seek assistance from a local Labor Department office. Department staff will help people evaluate their job skills, identify careers that are in demand, find training programs and direct them to appropriate job openings.
• The unemployment insurance program provides financial help to people who have lost jobs through no fault of their own.
