The Kentucky Department for Employment Services (DES) has the largest and most diverse computer-based applicant pool in the area. Annually, there are over 300,000 Job and Service Seekers statewide who register with DES. They are individuals who possess a variety of work experiences, skills, and educational backgrounds. From high school graduates to PhD's; unskilled laborers to highly skilled, professional, managerial and technical. These are individuals who are employed but are seeking a career change, those that are under-employed, those who wish to relocate and the unemployed who have lost their jobs due to downsizing and the effects of supply and demand. Locally, the DES offices serving Scott and the surrounding counties provide services to approximately 8,000 to 14,000 Job and Service Seekers annually. An employer who has job openings listed with our agency will be able to take advantage of this large applicant resource. In today’s tight labor market it
only makes good business sense to access every available resource.
