VICTORVILLE – The High Desert America’s Job Center is hosting a career expo, Jan. 25., to connect employers with people looking for work as many companies continue with mass layoffs into the New Year.

“In the US, higher interest rates caused by the Fed’s action against inflation will impact the housing market demand and will potentially raise unemployment,” states Trade Capital Corporation’s 2023 Economic Outlook report.

The report goes on to warn of serious risks to the economy. 

The High Desert America’s Job Center provides supportive services for people who have been laid off, experienced a reduction in hours or unable to work. 

At the upcoming career expo, employers will be on hand reviewing resumes and offering employment on the spot.
