The current unemployment rate in Jersey City is eight percent, higher than the 2000 rate of 5.8 percent and the statewide unemployment rate of 3.8 last year according to the New Jersey's Department of Labor. As a growing number of workers join the ranks of the unemployed, more and more workers flock to Hobart West. The company said it focuses on temporary and permanent solutions for its clients and provides a broad base of staffing services for light industrial, information technology, healthcare, legal and financial services. Staudmyer said Hobart West would open three more human resource branches in New Jersey in the next few months as it aggressively pursues an expansion program. As Hobart West continues to grow we will look for markets that are under serviced.
Jersey City is perfect fit for our services.
Staudmyer said the company would place jobs for the growing immigrant population of New Jersey. Jersey City Mayor Bret Schundler who graced the opening of Hobart West newest branch said his administration was intensifying its efforts to attract more companies in Jersey City's industrial parks so as to create more jobs. He said the parks being developed would create 75,000 to 80,000 new jobs. Schundler, who is running for governor of New Jersey, said real estate taxes plummeted in the city during his term.
