Genie Temp Services, which has been open since the 60′s, will close its doors by Monday, leaving about 300 temporary employees in limbo. Genie has five locations in Illinois. Two already closed in Rock Falls and LaSalle. The three remaining will close next, including two in the QCA, Mount Carroll and Galesburg. Genie works to place people with around 20 companies. The company says most of those companies will just move to another temp service based in Macomb, and the temp workers will keep their jobs. But some companies are going with a new temp service all together, and that service can decide whether or not to hire Genie employees. [KWQZ]
