Las Vegas is an amazing city with thousands of workers who want and need to make a living to continue to live here and to enjoy their lives. The level of unemployment is much higher than it has been in years and that means that many talented individuals are looking for the right job.
There's been a few job fairs recently and with so many people looking for jobs, lots of candidates making their way to these fairs with resumes in hand and hoping that a job will be offered soon. It's scary when in desperation a job fair is arranged and there are more companies at the job fair looking to make money than pay money.
In the last 7 days a job fair was held at the Luxor Hotel. The number of vendors participating was very low. It didn't seem like more than 10 companies had booths in the "Job Fair." Of the 10 companies participating, more than half of them were selling something like an educational program instead of offering jobs.
On a positive note, City Center, a mixed-use commercial and residential mega project had a team of employment representatives to take applications and Allegiant Air had information about jobs for Flight Attendants, their Call Center, and a few more positions.
The Navy is also looking for some excellent new recruits. It is very clear that in the Las Vegas Job Zone, much more needs to be done to get people back to work. We need to help people now.
The best way to stimulate the economy is to have people spending money. People only spend money when they are confident that are going to make money.
