Maricopa Workforce Connections will host several job fairs in the next week, with many employers looking to fill positions that could fit younger workers.
Wilson Electric will be at the group’s One Stop location, 735 N. Gilbert Road, noon to 2 p.m. Monday taking applications and conducting interviews. Labor Systems will also be at that location recruiting 10 a.m. to noon Wednesday.
The Rock Church will host a job fair 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Thursday at 326 E. Guadalupe Road, Gilbert. About 30 employers are scheduled to attend.

"Younger workers?" I guess older people shouldn't bother to apply. This reeks of discrimination. Just in time to employ all those illegal alien children that Obama gave work permits.

@TruthSeeker
You had your day, oldtimer. Just sit back and collect your social security that I'm paying you.
Being "politically correct" as to not offend the easily-offended (erhem, like you) makes this world suck. We've become a society of thin-skinned, nimby-loving, spineless pack mules thanks to this parasitic mindset.

Great! just in time for all the illegals to snatch up the few jobs that would have been available to American citizens courtesy of our fearless dictator, barack obama.

vrsicks, I'm not going to be politically correct. In fact, I'm going to be very blunt. YOU, and demodope socialst progressives like you, are EXACTLY what is wrong with this country today. I hope and pray that this coming November, those demodopes in D.C. who aren't bailing like some are and instead have decided to run for reelection, will be FIRED on election day, including that socialist idiot in the White House.
The only reason Obumbles sidestepped our Congress and who is undermining our Constitution with his bogus executive orders and Congress out of session appointments, is to get reelected. The main reason he is ignoring our immigration laws in regards to the younger illegal immigrants, is again, to try and get reelected. One MASSIVE problem with that, it has angered the labor unions in a big way, whose very jobs are not threatened by a cheap labor force. Also, Obumbles has very good reason to believe that SCOTUS is going to uphold our SB-1070 laws. Can you also say, Bye, Bye, Obumblecare?
I'm really enjoying watching Obumbles, talking his doo doo, then stepping in it. He looks so smart when he makes comments about how well our private sector employment is doing.......NOT.
One last thing, vrsicko, that "old timer' you are showing disrespect to, most likely paid more into SSI than you ever will. It was because of progessives like you, who allowed a demodope majority to tax SSI. Remember who cast the deciding vote? Yep, Mr. I Invented the Internet himself, Al Sore Loser Gore. Take note, sicko, we, the people, are mad as hell are we aren't going to take it anymore. Got it? You had better because our massive voting power was felt in 2010 and it's going to be even stronger in 2012.

vrsicks is pretty smug. He must have a secure gubmint job, which he can't be fired from, no matter how much he screws up.
Yes, there IS age discrimination; they just tip toed around it before. Now they are so in-your-face, they are just coming straight out with "we don't want anyone older than...say 30." Old timers, just go and die somewhere. Right, vr?
Like if you reach a 'certain' age, you no longer have the right to want a job?

@Butters,
Maybe if you spent your energy in places other than internet forums you'd actually get somewhere.
You've incorrectly assumed my political demographic, n00b.
"TruthSeeker" and the rest of you assume that a job fair for "younger people" is discriminatory because it's targeted at, well how shall I say it, "younger people."
Learn to breath through your noses, people, and get a life.
