Job Fair

State Senator Kemp Hannon in conjunction with East Meadow School District Administration host a REAL Jobs for Long Islanders job fair. More than 80 hiring employers will participate. Over 550 Long Islanders have registered for the Job Fair, and that number continues to grow.  For information, call Sen. Hannon's office at 739-1700

According to the United States Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statics, the current unemployment rate is 9.5 percent. In the midst of one of our nation's worst economic climates, Long Islanders are still feeling the pain of major company cut backs and fewer jobs being created.
