Berrios Hosts Community Job Fair

April 17th, 2013   

CHICAGO, IL – In an effort to help stimulate the local economy, state Rep. Maria A. “Toni” Berrios (D-Chicago) held her first Community Job Fair of the year on Saturday at EdwinG.ForemanHigh School in Chicago.

“The most recent jobs report indicated that there is still much work to be done to put people back to work, and lowering the unemployment rate remains a top priority,” Berrios said. “This event was aimed to help connect the unemployed with businesses and agencies that are looking to hire.”

Approximately 30 employers participated in searching for qualified individuals to fill their open positions. Over 120 local residents took advantage of speaking with those employers and applying for their job openings.

For more information, please contact Rep. Berrios’ constituent service office at (773) 736-3939 or visit her office located at 2847 N. Pulaski Ave. in Chicago.
