Jobs fair aims to provide direct assistance
To the editor:
Last Friday, the U.S. Department of Labor released its monthly unemployment report, with figures reflecting an economy still struggling to create the jobs necessary to put our nation back on the path to prosperity. In August, the national unemployment rate remained a disappointing 9.1 percent.
To provide direct assistance to Minnesotans who are among the 14 million Americans looking for work, U.S. Rep. John Kline is hosting a Career & Jobs Fair from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. Monday, Sept. 19 at the Eagan Community Center. More than 65 employers and a variety of employment assistance organizations and educational institutions are scheduled to participate. We hope this fair will provide new opportunities to put Minnesotans back to work.
If you are looking for a job, I encourage you to attend. If you know someone who is looking for a job, please share this information with them. Last year, more than 750 Minnesotans participated in Kline’s jobs fair, and the response from constituents was overwhelmingly positive.
For more information – including a list of employers attending the expo, please visit Kline’s website at http://kline.house.gov or e-mail me at Sally.Bryant@mail.house.gov.
I hope to see you Sept. 19 at the jobs fair.

Career & Jobs Fair coordinator for U.S. Rep. John Kline
