I just want to comment that I helped out the Parnassah Expo team last year and that I personally know so many people that got jobs through it. In fact I bumped into people months (and I mean months) later that had forgotten to mention to anyone that their job came through the expo. So everyone can assume whatever they want but being involved in the klal work, I was able to see first hand ppl that were helped. Unfortunately thousands more are in need and we have to all do our hishtadlus but the keys are in Hashems hands.
As for this year, they are working to help not just job seekers but another section of Parnassah – keeping the business within the frum community.
They are running to programs – YES there is a program with a job fair. However the meadowlands is huge and they took the opportunity to make a program for existing businesses to fill the floor and network everyone together to help businesses know what services there are for them.
So if you are a job seeker there is a program for you.
And if you are a businessman – there is a program for you.
And its up to the businesses in our communities to join on both ends to help contribute to this beautiful gathering of klal Yisrael.
