There are 3 job fairs taking place in Jacksonville today.
Congresswoman Corrine Brown and Jacksonville Mayor Alvin Brown are hosting this year’s one-day Job and Resource Fair at the Prime Osborn Convention Center.
Mayor Brown says the current 6-and-half percent jobless rate means there are still more than 30,000 people who are looking for work on the First Coast.
"This job fair will allow people to apply for those positions that are open. There are over 100 companies that are looking for people to hire the people, to put people back to work," says Brown. "So if you’re looking for a job, you should show up Monday morning at the Prime Osborn Convention Center. This is very important. It’s a great opportunity for people who are looking for a job."
Brown says people who need help with their resumes should show up at 7:45 this morning.
