LBCC Career Fair




On 4/29 students and members of the general public gather in the LBCC gymnasium in an attempt to address some of the issues many in the community face with regard to high local unemployment.



While there was a healthy crowd in attendance, looking for employment prospects, it seems the more telling story is in who wasn't there. There were a number of boths from the public sector (college, military, and other government employers), however it seemed representation from the private sector was notably thin. The largest employers in from the area failed to make an appearance, and it seemed that most of those who did show up were offering mostly performance based rather than salaried positions.
