WHO’S HIRING— NEW PARTNERSHIP
In the past week, over 30,000 unemployment claims have been filed.
To continue supporting Kentucky businesses and citizens in these challenging times, the Kentucky Chamber will be working in partnership with state government by connecting those experiencing job loss to industries across the state currently in need of talent.
Our team will work with employers looking for talent due to surges experienced with COVID-19. And the Kentucky Workforce and Education Cabinet and Career Centers will be working across the state to identify talent currently experiencing job loss due to COVID-19.

N 95 RESPIRATOR REQUEST FOR BUSINESSES
As this pandemic continues to escalate, the business community is now being asked to come together to help ensure testing is being done in the most responsible way possible.
Public safety is now our number one priority across the country.
The governor has asked the Chamber to lead the effort in collecting commercial-grade N 95 respirators from businesses who are able. If you have any commercial-grade N 95 respirators please bring or mail them to the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce (464 Chenault Road, Frankfort, KY 40601). If you do have any and need help getting them to Frankfort, please let us know.
In addition, if you are a manufacturer that may have the ability to produce commercial-grade N 95 respirators, please let us know.
