State and city jobs, including state Canal Corp and Albany's Department of Human Resources, were just some of the over 20 employers at this year's fair.

"Sometimes everyone will make a mistake, sometimes older they made a mistake, this is an opportunity for them not only to put some money in their pocket, and get hired for a career path, but bigger than that work with a business they can contribute and feel a part of something," said Jonathan Jones, Commissioner of Recreation, Youth & Workforce Services.
