More Than 5,000 Compete for Work at Kings Plaza Job Fair

Nobody can say Brooklynites don't want to work.

More than 5,000 job hunters competed for 1,200 positions at clothing and electronic stores and other retailers on October 17 at the Kings Plaza Job Fair.

“People started showing up at 8 o’clock and, by the time I got there, the line was wrapped around the corner, around the aisle, and then back towards the corner again,” Alicia Deflorimonte told Brooklyn Daily.
