EDEN PRAIRIE –Congressman  Erik Paulsen (MN-03) today announced he will host a job fair at Normandale Community College in Bloomington on Monday, February 8th.   Scheduled to attend Paulsen’s job fair are a wide variety of employers from health care, technology, retail and several additional employment sectors.  Last week, it was reported that unemployment remained at 10% during the month of December, with 85,000 jobs lost in the month alone. 

“The recession has hit Minnesota workers hard, with jobs remaining very hard to find,” Paulsen said.  “By bringing together potential employers and Minnesotans who are looking for work, I’m hoping this job fair will open up some new possibilities as we continue to work through this challenging economy.”
The job fair is free and open to the public and will run from 1:30 PM – 5:00 PM CST. 

Businesses interested in participating can contact Congressman Paulsen’s office at (952) 405-8510 or register at no charge via Paulsen’s website at www.paulsen.house.gov and clicking on the job fair link on the website’s front page.   The link contains up to the minute event details and resources for job-seekers, and a list of employers scheduled to attend will continue to be updated as the event nears.
