Epstein asks how many potential jobs are available across the 528 contracts. Harry says he does not have that exact number and that OCH is beginning to work with vendors to identify opportunities.

Harvey D. Epstein

So in these 585 contracts, how many potential jobs are there available?

Douglas Harry

Right now, I don't have that exact number of potential jobs available.

Douglas Harry

Many of these contracts, like I said, the data that we published in our most recent report was only at 179 because that was based on the quarter that we were mandated to publish.

Douglas Harry

Since then, we're already at 528, so a lot of new contracts have just been registered.

Douglas Harry

We have yet to do exactly the analysis that you're looking for in terms of what the

Douglas Harry

that those job opportunities are, but we are now beginning to work with those vendors to make sure that they are working with the system, working with referral sources to help identify what those job opportunities may be.

Harvey D. Epstein

When can you get us the information about how many jobs for the 528 contracts you have might be available to New Yorkers?

Douglas Harry

We'll work on getting that information to you as soon as we can.

Douglas Harry

We'll have to go back and see where all of those contracts are in the particular status and what some of the outreaches look like to date from our partners, but we will be able to get it.
