“New Hampshire Employment Security’s Job and Resource Fairs, which connect New Hampshire’s talented workers with employers looking to hire, are an important part of our efforts to expand middle class opportunity and keep our economy moving in the right direction, and I’d like to thank New Hampshire Employment Security and participating employers for working together to make this fair possible,” Governor Hassan said.

Executive Councilor Chris Pappas says, "These job fairs are a great way for job seekers to explore opportunities with dozens of businesses representing a wide range of fields. As we look to get New Hampshire back to work and ensure families have a chance to get ahead in this economy, events like this are a win-win for all who attend."

"The Manchester Job & Resource Fair will bring together local businesses and our community's skilled workforce to help businesses grow and positively impact NH’s economic vitality," said New Hampshire Employment Security Commissioner George Copadis. "Job Fairs help local business find qualified job seekers in the community which creates opportunities for New Hampshire residents to work close to home. This not only supports our economy, it also reduces the need for residents to commute long distances and work outside of their community.
