The County of Los Angeles received $150 million in federal stimulus funds to create a job program offering up to 10,000 jobs in 2010. The program reimburses employers up to $10 per hour for 40 hours per week for new hires, with funding covering wages but not overtime. Employers can receive funding for either a work experience program where the county employs workers or an on-the-job training program where the employer directly hires candidates referred through County workforce offices and receives wage reimbursement.
