N.Y. Labor Law § 850*: Legislative findings and objectives

* § 850*. Legislative findings and objectives. The legislature finds

that due to the harmful impact upon the people of the state and upon the

economic stability of the state as the result of high cyclical and

structural unemployment it is necessary and appropriate to most

effectively allocate any and all economic resources available to the

state of New York such as the federal funds allocated to New York for

the creation of public service jobs according to the provisions of

Public Law 93-203 (as amended) and it is therefore in the public

interest of the state of New York to create a mechanism to effectively

review and monitor the allocation of such public law funds by applicants

for such funds within the state of New York and recommend to all

applicants for such funds that the allocation of public service job

opportunities within the communities served by the applicants maximize

the value of such public law funds to reduce the unemployment rate by

employing persons whose employment will most contribute to a general

improvement of the economy of the state, as well as a restoration of a

balance between the private and public sectors of the state's economy,

and, furthermore, recommend to all applicants for such funds that such

allocations of public service jobs be in compliance with all such public

law rules and regulations, especially section 99.1 (c) which specifies

that at least fifty percent of persons hired for such public law public

service jobs be persons who are long-term unemployed and recipients of

aid to families with dependent children.
