§ 532. Employment districts and offices. 1. Establishment and maintenance. The commissioner may divide the state into such number of employment districts as he finds necessary to carry out the provisions of this article and maintain a district office in each of said districts. The commissioner shall establish such number of local employment offices as he finds necessary, which offices, in addition to the other duties prescribed herein and by the commissioner, shall act as free public employment exchanges.

Such exchanges shall provide and maintain special services for unskilled workers and public assistance recipients, which services shall include but not be limited to: maintenance of current registers of all opportunities for employment in which such workers and recipients would be able to engage which are brought to the attention of such exchanges; special activities to seek out and develop employment opportunities for such workers and recipients; employment preparation services; and continued counseling before and after referral of such workers and recipients to employment opportunities.

2. Cooperation with other agencies. The commissioner is authorized to cooperate with or to enter into agreements with the federal railroad retirement board or any other agency of the United States charged with the administration of an unemployment compensation law, with any political subdivision of this state, or with any private non-profit organization, with respect to the establishment, maintenance, and use of free employment service facilities and free public employment offices, and as a part of any such agreement the commissioner may accept moneys, services, or quarters as a contribution to the special "employment service account" in the unemployment administration fund.
