MCC Status Of Women Establishes Job Bank Dy Susan Ellsworth Post Staff Writer The Mecklenburg County Commission on the Status of Women recently established a job bank. It provides referral services for women who have specific problems finding jobs in fe male dominated fieldsiie. so cial work) according to staff counselor, Sandy Feibelman. Listings of mostly entry le vel positions in office work, sales and construction train ees among others, are avail able at the office located at 316 E Morehead Street, Suite 303. Open from 9 a.m.-l p.m. Mon day through Friday, no fee is charged for services "There's more job oppor tunities in non-traditional jobs,” Ms. Feibelman said,” “although secretaries and re ceptionists are in demand." ‘ The job bank serves people with no skills to those who have PhDs, commented Fay Skidmore, Administrative Co ordinator of ihe Women's Commission. Three hundred women have registered with the job bank since its inception as a pilot project in July 1979. The Women’s Commission was es tablished in 1974 by the Meck lenburg County Commission. Nine volunteer staff members were appointed. "There’s a mixture of wo men in the job market," Ms. Feibelman said. Applicants range from "women who have six months to one year’s ex perience to those returning to the work force after a lapse of time,” she continued. Responding to women’s needs not being met by the larger, more impersonal Em ployment Securities Commiss ion is a function of the job bank, Ms. Feibelman said. “The Employment Security Commission mainly helps people who are unemployed,” she continued. “The job bank helps people regardless of whether or not they have a job.’’(Men are not discrimi nated against and may also apply for positions, although the service is mainly for wo men). wuic vaicci Id provided at the job bank but -more is offered through WO MANSHARE, which the Wo man’s Commission jointly sponsors with CPCC. The Commission also com bines effort with state officials to update information on the employment situation for wo men. “Salaries for women in North Carolina are half of those for men,” Ms. Skidmore said. “An average salary for a woman is *7,000.-18,000. and that’s poverty level. Women earn $3,000 less than a man for doing the same job,” she added. Through the job bank the Mecklenburg County Com mission on the Status of Wo men hopes to improve em ployment opportunities for women.
