TRENTON – Legislation sponsored by Senators Jim Beach (D-Camden) and Fred Madden (D-Gloucester, Camden) that would prohibit an employer or an employer’s agent, representative or designee from advertising a job vacancy that disqualifies unemployed individuals from applying was signed into law today.
“For the countless residents who lost their jobs through no fault of their own, these ads just add insult to injury, especially when they see an opening for which they would be a perfect fit,” said Beach. “Businesses that make it a point to exclude the unemployed from consideration are not only passing up on the chance to attract qualified candidates, but are only making the employment picture worse for the entire state.”
