Company layoffs rise.
Unemployment rate creeps up despite new job creation.
New job losses bring unemployment rate to near 7-year high.

Headlines of layoffs and rising unemployment rates sum up the difficult economic times facing our community.  Over the past year, Operation ABLE has seen the real life impact of unemployment on mid-career and older workers and has been responding to this challenge.

Our 2002 annual report highlights the steps ABLE has taken to develop new programs and secure additional funding to support our core services.  The report also shows some of the people we have helped this past year and the challenges they face in today's economy.
