Interested public peruses Fort Lewis College job fair

February 03, 2011

A job fair at Fort Lewis College saw an increase this year over past ones. Organizers told us there were double the amount of businesses there this year. 35 employers signed up to participate in the job fair at the college. Allyn Talg, spokesperson with Fort Lewis College, said the spike in numbers may have something to do with the economy. "We see employers starting to say ok…we're breathing a little bit more we can start to see some positions coming open that maybe we hadn't opened before," said Talg. Officials at the college say about 350 students came through the fair today. The next job fair at Fort Lewis College will be in October.
