Center for Day Laborers, Domestic Workers Opens

A new and unique job center that connects day laborers and domestic workers with local employers will celebrate a grand opening in Hollywood today.

The Hollywood Community Jobs Center, located on a lot provided by a nearby Sears store, will have a rain-protected area with chairs and telephones so that employers can come by or call to hire workers. The workers have established governing bodies, and the domestic workers group is establishing rules for membership and setting standard pricing for such services as cleaning, ironing, laundry and caring for pets.
