Hunting for jobs

About 3,000 people showed up to the job fair at Central Park this morning looking for some good news. More than 60 employers representing local government, health services and retail were there with more than 1,000 openings. U.S. Border Patrol alone had 7,000 openings across the country.

I spoke to one job seeker who said Coca-Cola was there with one opening. Gentex, a Rancho-based manufacturer of breathing apparatuses for military pilots, had two openings.

So the lesson of the day is, if you want a job, consider border protection.
