MORRIS COUNTY — Not since the Great Depression has America faced a Labor Day such as this years. An international pandemic and extended government shutdowns of businesses have cost millions of American workers their jobs and closed many commercial enterprises permanently.
Thanks to extended help from the federal government, many families are able to make ends meet until a recovery takes place.
However, there are good economic signs that should give us hope <a href=”https://www.nytimes.com/live/2020/09/04/business/stock-market-today-coronavirus#jobs-report-august-2020″>The U.S. added 1.8 million jobs in July and another 1.4 million jobs in August as unemployment fell to 8.4 percent.</a> The unemployment number is still a long way from the virtual full employment the U.S. had achieved before the pandemic hit this year, but we are headed in the right direction. Our economic recovery will go quicker as more governments loosen the shackles on business, allowing more people to get back to work.
I know many of you approach Labor Day with trepidation. Will there be a second phase of the virus? How soon will a vaccine be available? When can we resume our normal lives? Battling the unknown can often lead to despair, but we must remember that we have history on our side.
Americans have always been extraordinarily resilient and inventive in the face of challenges. Throughout our history, we have been brilliantly creative and dynamic hard-working people. Ordinary Americans always manage to do extraordinary things on behalf of their fellow man. And because of that, America has overcome every obstacle and emerged from each crisis stronger and better than before. We have overcome the Civil War, the depression of the 1870s; two world wars, the Spanish Flu pandemic, the Great Depression, and murderous international terrorists.
There is no reason to believe we will not come out of this crisis as good or better than before – as long as we work together. We cannot allow ourselves to be divided by those who spread the disease of divisiveness. We must remember that the USA is one very great nation that was built by men and women who stood up to adversity and conquered it.
We will do so again. And by our next celebration of Labor Day, we will be applauding the contributions of America’s workforce as it leads us to renewed prosperity and hope.
Please enjoy the holiday weekend safely

MORRIS COUNTY — There is still time to enroll for the Fall Semester at County College of Morris (CCM). The college also has a number of programs to help fund higher education so students can keep moving forward during these challenging times.
The Fall Semester begins on September 9. In addition to the traditional length semester, CCM also offers a 13 Week Semester that begins on September 23 and a Late Start 7 Week Semester that starts November 4.
Students enrolling for the Fall Semester at CCM are provided with additional flexibility. There are now three format options for courses. Those formats are remote, online, and hybrid. Remote courses are similar to live classes in that they take place through video conferencing on specific days and times. Online courses take place virtually but do not require attendance at a specific time. Hybrid courses are for those programs, such as engineering and science, that require some in-person learning on campus and the remainder online.
By enrolling at CCM, students can focus on taking care of their general education requirements to transfer to a four-year school at a later date; explore their options with more than 100 degrees, certificate, and training programs; and get started on a rewarding and fulfilling career path. A number of programs are offered to high school students so they can get a head start on higher education. To learn about those programs click here.
CCM recognizes the challenges that students face in funding their education. CCM offers several programs students can apply to determine if they qualify for free assistance.
Free Tuition
Free tuition is available for CCM students through the New Jersey Community College Opportunity Grant (CCOG). Students taking six or more credits may qualify for these funds to cover both tuition and fees. To learn more and to apply click here.
CARES Funds
For students who were enrolled in a degree or certificate program during the Spring 2020 Semester, CCM currently has more than $1M in federal CARES dollars so they can continue their studies this fall. Those funds can be used not only to help with tuition but to take care of living costs such as rent, utilities, clothing, and childcare. To find out more and to apply click here.
Scholarships
The CCM Foundation has nearly $300,000 available to award to students as scholarships this fall. The Foundation also operates the Titan Emergency Fund to provide students with money to take care of unexpected expenses ranging from car repairs, to rent, to medical care and more. To apply for a scholarship click here.
Financial Aid
In addition to the money offered through CARES, CCOG, and Foundation Scholarships, the CCM Office of Financial Aid awards more than $12M each year to students. A significant portion of those awards consists of Pell Grants, which unlike loans, do not need to be paid back. To learn more about financial aid at CCM click here.
