The state Department of Labor says it can help find workers for cleanup, repair and demolition work following Tropical Storm Irene.
The department says its 12 career resource centers around the state can help match employers with available workers.
Last week a Johnson company was seeking 100 workers to help in the cleanup of the state offices in Waterbury. The labor department says by the end of the day, it had referred 150 possible workers to the company.
In the last week the department has taken in over 15 job orders for more than 500 workers.
