Today, U.S. Congressman David Scott (D-GA) hosted the Fourth Annual 13th Congressional District Jobs Fair at the Georgia International Convention Center in College Park. This special event was hosted in conjunction with Comcast Cable, WALR KISS 104.1 FM and CBS 46.

“The 13th Congressional District’s Jobs Fair was a great success! This is the fourth jobs fair that I have had the pleasure of hosting and I am very proud of the profound turnout of employers and job seekers here today,” Congressman Scott said. “This is a tough economy and people are hanging on by their fingernails. The outpouring of need is seen in the large number of people tirelessly searching for jobs and the crisis that our local economy is experiencing with the mortgage foreclosure crisis. I am pleased that we were able to assist many able and willing workers today by helping them make direct contact with leading area businesses that are growing and looking to hire.”

A long line of eager but patient job seekers wrapped around the front exterior of the Georgia International Convention Center well before Congressman Scott officially opened the doors in great anticipation of the official start of his Fourth Annual Jobs Fair at 10:00 a.m.

A diverse group of major corporations, small businesses, and government agencies offering a rich variety of job opportunities teamed up with Congressman Scott for his fourth jobs fair. Some of the participating companies included Lockheed-Martin, Comcast Cable, Home Depot, FedEx ground, Internal Revenue Service, Federal Aviation Administration, Sun Trust Bank, WellStar Health Systems, Georgia Power, Hyundai Motors, World Financial Group, FBI, CSX Transportation, WGCL-TV CBS 46, and the Social Security Administration.
