The latest unemployment numbers for the Coastal Bend region show that Harvey had a considerable impact. "Aransas, Refugio, and San Patricio counties saw significant increases," said Public Relations Managers for Workforce Solutions of the Coastal Bend, Monika De la Garza. The silver lining to the news of those job losses is a $1.6 million grant from the Texas Work Force Commission. That money means immediate work is available. "I mean we really do need the relief workers so we can go into the counties that need to be rebuilt," De La Garza added. Employers can also seize this opportunity. "On the other side of this with employers, anyone that needs temporary workers, that need relief workers, this is the time to call Work Solutions of the Coastal Bend," said De La Garza.
