The U.S. Chamber of Commerce said one group struggling to find jobs are those who were incarcerated. A study shows that for the first four years after leaving incarceration, 60% of those individuals can't find a job, compared to peak pandemic unemployment, which was just 15%.
During our job fair, Judge Toria Finch is highlighting Fresh Start, which is an organization that introduces people with criminal backgrounds to programs that are available to help them find work.
For everyone else, if you're looking for a job, we have a way to land one, especially in the Woodlands area.
