United Way connects residents to living-wage jobs
The road to success can have bumps and detours, even for the most determined job seekers. But with help from neighbors who care, people can go from struggling to thriving. United Way of the Capital Region is helping people who are unemployed or underemployed obtain jobs where they earn a living wage through its Road to Success initiative.
