Local Company Provides Opportunities for Supplemental Income

 

In a slumping economy many of us are looking for that avenue for additional income. It seems that this would be tough to do as many industries are cutting back during these slow times. There is good news though reports Susan Schell of the Peninsula Gateway. A local company here in Gig Harbor, LaborWorks, claims business is strong at their 15 locations which help place workers in jobs for temporary employment opportunities in Washington. LaborWorks offers quick and flexible options for supplemental employment for many who still hold full time jobs or even students with busy school schedules. They place workers in industries anywhere from scientists at Microsoft to clean-up staff for sporting and main events at Qwest Field and other venues. This is a great way to pick up some extra cash while maintaining your current schedule. This is also a great way to get your foot in the door somewhere that may require more experience than you have. Another bonus? LaborWorks will handle all the paperwork for employment, just last year they sent out over 11,000 W2's. In a time when bills are stacking up and cost of living is rising it is refreshing to hear opportunities do exist to supplement your income!

Is your family prepared in the event of a disaster?

Although many of us understand the importance of being prepared for the worst, most of us don't have a plan in place. We are so used to the convenience of cell phones and email, but what if these everyday communication tools were abruptly wiped out without warning? Would your family know where to meet you? Would you have enough food and water to provide to your pets and loved ones for a period of time? In the event of a disaster, such as an earthquake, fire, or terrorist attack, you will feel much calmer and confident knowing you have outlined and prepared a plan for your family.

The Pep-C organization of Gig Harbor provides many tips, plans, forms, and additional information regarding hazards and disasters that could strike our area at anytime. Visit their website to find step-by-step planning for your family along with preventative checklists to help make your home safer.
