The LA County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a motion from Supervisor Janice Hahn to do all they can to help thousands of soon-to-be laid off workers from the 99 Cents Only Stores.

"We've asked our Department of Economic Opportunity to launch a program immediately for the workers that are about to lose their jobs," Hahn stated.When the chain decided to call it quits over money problems, Supervisor Hahn flashed back to a time not long ago when Farmer Johns in Vernon went under. That was 2,500 workers out of work and now with the 99 Cents Only stores, roughly 3,000 employees will lose their job.

So, we think it's an opportunity for these 99 Cents work crews, who also don't make as much as they could give them free job training... upgrading their skills."But, how is that done? Kelly LoBianco, who heads LA County's Department of Economic Opportunity, says they'll send in Rapid Response teams.
