Love and spring and street festivals — they all go hand-in-hand. This year’s Inman Park Parade and Festival brought the sun-hungry out in droves. And in costume. Check out more photos from the neighborhood festival.
On Wednesday, an estimated 20,000 people attended a job fair and career expo held at the Georgia World Congress Center. Sponsored by the Georgia Department of Labor and WSB-TV Channel 2, the event attracted attention because nearly 100 employers said they’d attend — and that they’d be hiring. State Labor Commissioner Michael Thurmond, in between interviews and talks with department officials on the convention center floor, watched the event from an overlook suite.
“What this means is that people haven’t given up hope,” Thurmond said. “People are still encouraged, people are still believing. And that’s important. Obviously, some will find jobs. Others will find opportunities for training and education. But the main thing we’re trying to do is to keep this workforce encouraged and not lose hope.”
