On March 27, 2020 Pima County launched
PimaWorks.com as a one-stop resource in response to the economic disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Go to that site to find updates on how Community Services, Employment and Training programs can assist in areas such as navigating the application for Arizona unemployment benefits, identifying job leads, and helping business owners tap in to local, state, and federal resources.
The Pima County One-Stop Career Center also established a dislocated worker hotline at 520-724-5735 to handle the increase in unemployment questions. The hotline will be staffed from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays.
