Job Far Cancelled; No One Is Hiring

The city of Marietta has canceled a job fair because most of the companies involved aren't hiring. Marietta city councilman Anthony Coleman said he didn't want to give people attending the Marietta/Cobb Career Expo "false hope." He said he plans to revive the expo next year. The event is usually held annually in the fall at the Cobb Civic Center. Last year, the job expo drew more than 70 employers and 1,500 jobseekers.
