PASCO- What's the one thing you'd expect to see at a job fair? Available jobs! 70 employers packed into columbia basin's atrium today - all talking about new opportunities.

"Some are looking for internships they need filled and many are accepting applications and resumes today." said Director of Student Employment Services Daphne Lightfoot.

Lightfoot says approximately 1,250 people came to the fair.

With that many people coming in looking for jobs, the question is how many jobs are actually available? I asked around to employers today, and basically, the results were mixed.

"Currently we don't have any openings but at any time things can change." said UPS rep Katie Harris.

The big winner today, PNL. They currently have 178 jobs to fill.
