More than 50 employers and vendors are expected to participate, some who will interview potential employees on the spot, while others will provide online links to jobs. These employers have hundreds of positions available in both part time and full time work.

“We are very excited this year to have employers like Bay Care Health Systems, HMS Host, Busch Gardens, LabCorp, General Dynamics IT, Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office, US Foods, Macy’s and many more. The most important thing that we can do in County Government is to help our unemployed or under employed citizens to find jobs. When more people are working, more people are saving and spending money at local businesses, and the economy continues to improve,” said Commissioner Murman.

"It's giving people across the county a chance to have access to employers hiring in a different part of the county. We're trying to offer the employers more possibilities, and the job seekers more options," said Commissioner Sandy Murman. "Some people might not be able to get to the job fair location, so we're hoping this will be another way to join employers with potential employees."
