The state of New York is looking for ways to reduce the time the unemployed spend looking for jobs, and it's turning to a mathematical formula for help.
The state's Department of Labor is touting the new tool as a major leap forward in the search for jobs. The formula is designed to direct resumes to the employers most likely to make a hire.
So far, Minnesota is the only other state to use this kind of fancy math to try to connect workers with jobs. There are no hard data, but a spokesperson for the state says the program has been working well.
If this is just a faster, gentler job board, I'm not impressed. If it can actually come up with positions people would not otherwise find or consider, then I'm ready to notice. How about it, Minnesota? How's it working for ya?
