'They all are expressing the same frustration over the jobs that they have open, and they just don't have people looking for jobs,' Sanders said of the employers at the fair. '.Now's the time to get into a job while there's not a lot of competition.'ĭue to people out of work receiving unemployment benefits and stimulus checks, local employers have been having trouble finding people to fill positions, according to Sanders. 'I'm hoping that being able to host an event live and in person will really help people to get reenergized,' Sanders said. Chamber CEO Marni Sanders said while she was hoping for more job seekers to attend the turnout was better than expected. Employers set up at tables around the perimeter of Boyd Hall.
The Yuba-Sutter Chamber of Commerce hosted the fair at the Feather River Academy in Yuba City. 'I had a job but got laid off because of COVID so I'm just looking around seeing what's available.' 'We're just looking around seeing what's available, nothing specific really,' Wagner said. After stopping at a few tables, Wagner said nothing had piqued his interest, but that he isn't picky about a new job. Henry said he has a job but was there to support Wagner in his search.
He went from table to table with Micah Henry, of Live Oak, at the Yuba-Sutter Job Fair on Thursday. 9-Live Oak resident Damian Wagner is a college student taking classes online.
