Federal cuts to county workforce funding
Summary
Workforce development funds are being cut: the youth program dropped 21% and WIOA career services dropped 16%, driven by population-shift formulas at the state and federal level — even though Delaware County actually grew. Fewer dollars mean fewer training and job placement services for residents looking for work.
