WorkForce West Virginia says the job market is improving in southern West Virginia, and with tourism season in full-swing, many businesses have jobs to fill.
The Greenbrier Valley site is hosting a career fair at the Greenbrier Valley Mall on Wednesday, May 16 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The career fair will feature 30 businesses from across the county that will be on site to speak to job seekers about current openings.
"With the cost of gasoline these days, looking for work is a very expensive thing for folks to do. This allows them to come and meet a lot of businesses with a lot of opportunities. It's just a win win situation for the business and the job seeker," said Janet Shelton with WorkForce West Virginia.
The event is free and open to recent graduates and anyone else looking for employment.
