Job, Resource Fair to Be Held in Ferguson Saturday
KMOX-AM ^ | September 12, 2014 | Carol Daniel

FERGUSON, Mo. (KMOX) - The protests and riots in Ferguson highlighted what many already knew—residents in many North St. Louis county towns are facing unemployment, poverty and lack of educational achievement.

Organizers say a job and resource fair on Saturday, Sept. 13 is designed to tackle those issues.

“We’re all alarmed by the situation and events that are happening, but I’m hoping that out of that something good can come out of it, and that’s getting people jobs and getting folks back into the educational setting,” says St. Louis Community College-Florissant Valley Interim President Ruby Curry.

The Urban League of Metro St. Louis teamed up with St. Louis Community College-Florissant Valley to create the fair in record time.

Curry says the school has had job fairs in the past with 60 companies.

“This year, with this event, we believe we’ll have 86 employment vendors and 33 resource vendors,” Curry says.

The resources will include free groceries and toiletries. Curry says there will be on-site interviews, so those looking for work should come dressed appropriately.

The job and resource fair will be held Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Florissant Valley campus on Pershall Road in Ferguson.

So what percentage of job offering won't require a BA as a prerequisite, do you suppose?

“Voter Registration. Free Groceries. Free Toiletries.”

Don’t forget to register as Democrat.

Good Lord.

Just curious ...

Do they have any job offerings for "thug-friends" of second-degree juvenile murderers ?

Lol, I’m sure employers are jumping over each other to hire someone from Ferguson.

Couldn’t help but notice the ‘homebuyer information’. That always works out well.

And the double yellow line is a not so subtle reference to the gentle giant.

Yep they do have to be held by the hand.

I have a SEC 8 tenant who needs a new stove, I asked her 2 months ago to measure the opening. She says she has nothing to measure with, and I need to send someone out to do that as that is my job. Well now since she has this attitude........I will be shopping for another stove and her choice of colors GOLD, AVACODA GREEN, or COPPERTONE, yes as old as I can find one that still works.

It says to dress approiately: Guess they can now since they stole everything in town.

You will notice the AmericanJobCenter logo on the lower left of the poster. That's a taxpayer funded organization (probably used to be ACORN).

Author has it backwards - should be - lack of educational achievement, unemployment, poverty.

Curry says there will be on-site interviews, so those looking for work should come dressed appropriately.
Oh yeah, I want to see a picture of that.
