CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) -- West Virginia is receiving nearly $491,000 in federal stimulus funding to help laid-off workers receive job training.

The U.S. Department of Labor is providing the funding to allow employers to create training and job opportunities for idled workers.

The Labor Department says workers will be able to develop occupational skills while earning a paycheck. Employers will receive partial reimbursement to offset the cost of training workers.

Wake up West Virginians and vote this group out. The State is proposing salary increases for teachers, and they need to borrow over 400,000 dollars in stimulus monies. Souldn't worry about the mule going blind until you get the wagon loaded!!
