Job Guidance/Assistance to County Residents Laid Off by Sam’s Club

Retailer Closed Stores In New Jersey Without Warning This Week

MORRIS COUNTY — Assistance is available to Morris County residents who lost their jobs this week due to the abrupt closing of the Sam’s Club through county social services and re-employment agencies, according to the Morris County Board of Freeholders.

Hundreds of state residents lost their jobs when Sam’s Clubs closed stores in Mount Olive, Linden and West Windsor, as part of a nationwide move by the company that affected thousands of employees nationwide.

“This is a very difficult time for some of our residents who had no expectation of being put out of work so suddenly, and who are obviously reeling from the store closings,’’ said Freeholder Director Doug Cabana. “Our county agencies are available to help those employees to find new jobs, receive needed re-training, and get the personal assistance they may need as they seek new employment.’’
