Dozens of employers are seeking to fill over 1,000 positions that East Texas job seekers will have the opportunity to apply for at U.S. Rep. Louie Gohmert's upcoming East Texas job fairs. These numbers are expected to grow as more businesses and entities continue to sign up for the events that will be held in Lufkin and Longview during the month of June. Hiring employers still have time to register their business or entity for the free job fairs, and job seekers with a range of backgrounds and experiences are encouraged to attend.
"It's easy to be discouraged by the gloomy economic forecasts broadcast by national leaders and media, but the truth is there is hope and there are jobs out there. Dozens of employers will be at our job fairs to meet with hardworking East Texans to fill over 1,000 available positions.
"My office and our partnering organizations want to do everything we can to help bring together the diverse East Texas job market with our capable citizens for the greater benefit of our community and economy. We look forward to seeing more employers register for these events and a strong turnout from East Texas job seekers."
