Thousands Lined Up Looking For Work

Updated: October 9, 2012

Lines wrapped around the Dothan Civic center and people didn't seem to care how long they spent in line, thousands came with the same goal in mind; finding a job.

Hundreds of employers showed up for the 15th Community Job Fair, but organizers say it seemed to be a sign of the times; people are looking for jobs, but there just aren't enough to go around.

"There are lots of job hopefuls and we'd just like in the future to see more employers to participate," explained the job fair coordinator, Lawrence Keener.

Despite the large crowd of people searching a job, many people hoped they would stand out and Tuesday would bring the good news they've been looking for.

Some say they've been searching for a job for quite awhile after the loss of companies like Sony and PEMPCO.
