Madison Job Service Office Closing

The Madison Job Service office will be closing effective February 8th, 2024.

 “These reductions are the result of federal funds not increasing while the cost of doing business has grown. We have dealt with this in recent years by gradually reducing staff and utilizing carry-over funds. However, the inflationary impacts of the past year called for a more targeted effort resulting in today’s actions.” said Secretary Marcia Hultman
