GROWING concerns over the 4.4% unemployment rate in Selangor has prompted the state government to continue with its Jelajah Selangor Bekerja job fair programme this year.
At a press conference to launch the event that will see 200 employers offering up to 25,000 job opportunities, Selangor youth generation, sports and human capital development committee chairman Mohd Khairuddin Othman said he hoped the platform would be of help to the 165,000 unemployed individuals, who were either fresh graduates or had lost their jobs due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
