(TNS) — The New York State Department of Labor (DOL) today announced the launch of a new Twitter account to improve accessibility for Hispanic New Yorkers.

By following @NYSDOLenEspanol on Twitter, Spanish-speaking residents can receive the latest information on job and training opportunities, worker rights and protections, unemployment insurance, immigration policies and other important employment resources.

@NYSDOLenEspanol will also highlight COVID-19 updates and information, as well as state programs and resources, to ensure that Spanish-speaking families and working people have access to the information, assistance and services they may need.

"Social media continues to be a critical and powerful communication tool," said New York State Department of Labor Commissioner Roberta Reardon. "This new social media account will increase our visibility and enable us to better deliver important, life-changing services, resources, and information to more New Yorkers in real time."

All vital DOL documents are available in 11 languages and NYS DOL's website chatbot currently communicates with New Yorkers in nine different languages.
