The Job Center is a needed service

The Daily Pilot asked people at Home Depot on Harbor Boulevard, “How

do you feel about the Job Center closing?”

I don’t know where the workers are going to go for work if they

don’t have that. I’d like to know why they’re closing it and what

their justification is.

I think it’s a bad idea because we often use them for day

labor.... It’s going to make it bad for places like Home Depot.

DEREK PHILLIPS, 39

It’s a good place to go and find work; it benefits everyone -- the

guy that needs work and the people who need workers. There needs to

be a central area for those guys to go find work.

It’s going to end up sending people from over there to Home Depots

like this.... It’s a source of jobs for a lot of people. If they do

close it, all these people are going to end up jobless.

That’s bad because whether they are illegal or not, people need

work. Homeowners and construction companies sometimes need extra

help, and they can get good work there.
