Attached is a summary report on employment matters in the Katy Stake.  Over 
the past 13 months, 65 persons have been reported as needing employment 
assistance.  Of this number, 37 have secured employment, leaving 28 still seeking 
jobs.  Unfortunately, at least one person has been unemployed for at least one 
year.  All wards except one have now completed an employment survey.  This is 
invaluable in providing network contacts to those seeking jobs, and was likewise 
invaluable in securing employers for our recent job fair.  Also, all ward 
except one now have employment specialists.  

The Houston Area LDS employment office now has a "Yahoogroups" web site up 
and running.  Available jobs are posted frequently.  All employment specialists 
are urged to monitor this site, and it is also available for priesthood and 
relief society leaders.  Access can be gained by sending an e-mail message to: 
"houstonldsjobs-subscribe@yahoogroups.com" .  Also, as members find out about 
available jobs, these should be posted on this web site.
