It is also a great opportunity for those who are working to find a better position with improved pay and benefits or for people to find a career in a field they can be more satisfied with. The state of Alabama’s record low unemployment of just 2.2 percent means that this job market greatly favors job seekers finding a career that they can succeed in.

Pre-registration is strongly encouraged, but not required. On-site registration will be available on the day of the event. Constituents can pre-register at this link or on Rep. Sewell’s website.
