Hillsborough County Commissioner Sandy Murman will host the South County Job Fair, set for Sept. 28.

“With the challenges that we are all facing with the downturn in the economy, the most important thing that we can do in county government is to help our unemployed or under-employed citizens to find jobs,” she said in a prepared statement. “When more people are working, more people are saving and spending money at local businesses, and the economy improves,” said Murman.

The event is free and open to the public.

More than 25 potential employers are expected to participate. It is scheduled from 8:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at the SouthShore Regional Service Center, 410 30th Street, S.E. in Ruskin.
