Only about half of the 9,000 migrants contacted by New York’s much-hyped Workforce1 program since last October even responded to the effort to link them with employers, Small Business Services department official Dynishal Gross told the City Council on Tuesday. And the majority of the roughly 5,500 migrants reached by agents from the department failed to even get a...
