More than 60 companies at a Miami job fair will offer opportunities to people looking for work in a state that has an unemployment rate higher<\/a> than the national average.<\/p>\n

Job candidates will find private businesses and government agencies at the fair, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Wednesday, May 27, at the Padr\u00f3n campus of Miami Dade College at NW 27th Avenue and Seventh Street.<\/p>\n

The annual hiring event, organized by the office of U.S. Rep. Mar\u00eda Elvira Salazar of Miami, will offer jobs in law enforcement, social services, education, engineering and technology.<\/p>\n

In April, Florida\u2019s unemployment rate was 4.8%, higher than the national rate of 4.3%. Unemployment has risen for eight consecutive months in the state, and in April 532,000 Floridians were out of work, according to the state economic development office, FloridaCommerce.<\/p>\n
