- Approximately 9,700 adults in Harrison County need help to complete an employment application, follow written instructions, or read a local newspaper.
- Approximately 12,800 adults would require a higher level of literacy to function effectively in society, find employment, or be trained for new jobs as the workplace changes.

Helping adults with their basic skills can help solve many of West Virginia's economic and social problems. A person's chance of finding employment increases with improved reading skills. This, in turn, improves his/her ability to support a family.
