One unemployed worker in Detroit told about her experience at a job fair:
“One-fourth of the vendors were there to ask you to invest in something (when the markets are crashed!); one-fourth were community colleges there to see about you going to school (and pay them!); one-fourth were some kind of website or marketing firm, having you get on their websites to search for jobs; and the only group there offering jobs was Kelly Services.”
Bad enough? It can get worse – many job fairs charge entrance fees these days – $15 or more – for putting you through this abuse!
