Dreier Comments on Unemployment Numbers, Upcoming Job Fair
SAN DIMAS, CA - Congressman David Dreier (R-San Dimas) commented today on the latest unemployment numbers and his upcoming job fair to help job seekers find opportunities in the challenging job market. The Road to Employment Job Fair will be held on Wednesday, April 8, 2009, from 9 a.m. – 1 p.m. at the Goldy Lewis Community Center, 11200 Baseline Road in Rancho Cucamonga.
“Today’s news from the Labor Department that our nation’s unemployment level has risen yet again is just the latest evidence that many of our friends and neighbors are hurting in this stalled economy,” Dreier said. “In the Inland Empire, the unemployment rate is even higher than the national average. That is why I am working with local officials like the San Bernardino Workforce Reinvestment Board to sponsor the Road to Employment Job Fair next week. Even in these challenging times, we expect at least 60 employers to participate. At the same time, I am fighting in Washington for policies that will get our economy moving again. We cannot borrow and spend our way back to economic prosperity. We need to help small businesses grow and let working Americans keep more of their hard earned money.”

Also participating in this year’s job fair will be the Greater Los Angeles Agency for the Deaf, Inc. to assist the hearing impaired.
