LABOR DEPARTMENT'S AMERICUS OFFICE TO EXPAND HOURS OF OPERATION 
 
ATLANTA -- State Labor Commissioner Michael Thurmond said today that the Georgia Department of Labor's office in Americus has expanded its hours of operation to better serve employers and job seekers in the area. 
 
The office will be open Monday through Thursday from 7:30 a.m. until 6 p.m., and on Fridays from 7:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. The office's long-standing hours have been from 8 a.m. until 4:30 p. m., Monday through Friday. The Americus office is located at 120 W. Church Street. The telephone number is (912) 931-2520. The office serves Marion, Schley, Sumter, Taylor, and Webster counties. 
 
"We're able to expand our office hours without additional staff, overtime or employee workload by using flex-time schedules," said Mike Flowers, manager of the office. "The extended hours will allow our customers, especially those whose work schedules correspond with our former operating schedule, more opportunities to use the department's services." 
 
The office is a regional one-stop office that provides resources for youth, seniors and people receiving public assistance or rehabilitation services. It also provides on-the-job training programs, veterans services, and the federal bonding program, as well as a resource center that offers resume preparation, career information, employment workshops, labor market information, job listings, and job referrals.
