MADISON, Wis. (AP) — All job postings tied to Wisconsin projects paid for with federal stimulus money will be posted on the same state Web site.

Gov. Jim Doyle announced Monday he has signed an executive order requiring all contractors and subcontractors involved with those projects to post job openings on www.jobcenterofwisconsin.com.

The site already has 13,000 job openings listed and averages half a million visits a day. Along with job openings, it lists job fairs and provides links to other programs and services.

Those seeking work can post their resumes on the site, and more than 3,500 had done so by March.

Doyle signed the order Thursday. Wisconsin is expected to get at least $3.7 billion in stimulus money.
