I was so happy to help organize a job fair in Round Lake recently. Round Lake continues to see high unemployment. If you're searching for work or know somebody who is, I encourage you to reach out to the Illinois Department of Employment Security (IDES). Here are some numbers from our July 21 hiring event at Magee Middle School:
Number of resumes accepted: 241
Number of interviews conducted: 34
Number of Provisional or conditional job offers extended: 27
Number of firm job offers extended: 8
Estimated of hires from this fair within the next year: 99
Do you think an IDES job fair event would help people near you? Contact my office.
Sincerely,
Melinda Bush
State Senator, 31st Illinois Senate District
