Jobs Fair Set for Monday

Event sponsored by area congressmen takes place in Addison.

Looking for leads on jobs? On Monday a jobs fair hosted by U.S. Reps. Randy Hultgren, Peter Roskam, Bob Dold and Joe Walsh will take place in Addison.

The event will be held from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Medinah Banquets, 550 North Shriners Lane in Addison. More than 100 employers will be present, representing various industries.

“Unemployment has been above 8 percent for 41 months now, and U.S. Census data tells us that small businesses employ more than 25 percent of the total workforce,” said Hultgren, who represents Geneva and the Tri-Cities.  “Clearly, there has never been a more crucial time to connect job seekers with employers looking to hire.”
