FRANKFORT (AP) - A federally funded program is providing jobs for nearly 10,000 disadvantaged youth and adults with children in Kentucky this summer.

The program subsidizes the wages and benefits of eligible people who are hired through the program.

The program is funded with almost $46 million from the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program through economic recovery funding.

People who are interested in working through the program or in hiring workers can find more information at the state's one-stop career centers or at www.worknow.ky.gov
