A line the length of two football fields snaked through the hotel as men and women in suits and trucking company garb hoped to land one of the 150 to 200 jobs at the Orrville-based food manufacturer. Smucker recently acquired Folger's coffee, which will boost local employment.
"The weather is challenging, but we are thrilled with the turnout so far this morning," said Maribeth Badertscher, Smucker's director of corporate communications.
"We've never had this many openings to fill at one time," said Badertscher, who has been with Smucker for 20 years.
The fair came a day after the federal government posted the worst report in 16 years for new jobless claims and the largest number of unemployed Americans since the early 1980s.
Today, the government reported that the Ohio unemployment rate rose to 7.3 percent in October from 7.2 percent in September. New jobless claims in Ohio soared beginning in November, up an average 25 percent per week from October.
The line of prospective employees at the Smucker job fair snaked through the lobby, down a hallway into a corridor that went through a covered walkway to the west wing and finally through another hallway. It measured about 200 yards at 11 a.m.
"I project there will be about 1,000 interviewed in the different areas by the time we close at 7 p.m.," Badertscher said.
