The Joint Economic & Community Development Board of Wilson County will coordinate through its Wilson Works countywide workforce development program to support rapid response efforts for affected workers led by the Northern Middle Tennessee Workforce Development Board.
Wilson County’s unemployment rate was 2.4% in April “and with more jobs currently available than there are workers to fill them, we are optimistic that these folks will rebound and find new employment quickly,” Joint Economic & Community Development Board of Wilson County Executive Director Corey Johns said.
