Employers offering 12,000 jobs at Saturday’s fair in OC

Dozens of local businesses will crowd into the Ocean City convention center on 40th Street Saturday between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. to find the perfect candidate for the estimated 12,000 jobs, temporary and professional, required to make Ocean City work during the summer.

“We are pretty much full,” of exhibitors, Ocean City Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Melanie Pursel said. “Right now we’re focused on bringing in job seekers.”

There is no cost to attend the event as someone looking for work.

I would like to see a report from someone that attends letting us know how many of these jobs would allow someone to buy a house and live in Wicomico county without food stamps.....

WHY are all of you complaining....If you do not like what is going on WHY vote the same fools in office. You all tear me up with all your complaining and then vote the same jerks in office. So now sit down shut up and deal with what you all wanted.

I find it pretty funny that the Ocean City Chamber of Commerce is bragging about the amount of jobs available at the job fair but yet I could not find anywhere on their site or else where all the employers that were/are supposedly attending the job fair

But...these jobs are aren't intended to support yourself on! They're designed for teenagers working a part time job after school!

If they paid more than minimum wage, the boardwalk would have to shut down because most businesses would have to close! And a hamburger would cost ten dollars!

These are jobs that Americans just won't do, so businesses are forced to hire workers from overseas! And all the money the big seasonal employers save on not having to pay in payroll taxes and FICA and workman's comp and healthcare benefits, is the reason prices for everything are unbelievablyyso cheap in OC,
