The East Jakarta Manpower, Transmigration, and Energy Sub-agency (Nakertransgi) is currently holding a job fair, offering 3,271 vacancies, in the Mangga Dua Square, Pademangan from Tuesday (10/24) to Wednesday (10/25).

North Jakarta Administration's Economy and Development Assistant, Wawan Budi Rohman appreciated the job fair. It was expected to be able to accommodate job seekers.

"This is a very important and strategic in efforts to reduce unemployment, ultimately improving people's welfare," he expressed, Tuesday (10/24).

Thus far, many job seekers have had difficulty getting information about vacancies from companies. Likewise, many companies still have difficulty finding workers according to their needs.

"Hopefully, many of the job seekers will be accepted later. So, it will significantly reduce the number of unemployed in North Jakarta," he asserted.
