Most everyone in Ada who wants a job must have one because only three people attended the three-hour jobs fair at the Ada Public Library on Thursday afternoon.
In comparison, about 40 people showed up in the first half hour at a similar jobs fair in Kenton, according to representatives from Jobs and Family Services, who sponsored the fair at the library.
The Village of Ada, The Inn, Adecco, ONU grounds department, and Vancrest of Ada all had representatives at the Ada jobs fair seeking employees. One sees many Help Wanted signs around town, especially at McDonalds and Dollar General, but they did not attend.
