Facing worker shortage, W.Va. to hold job fairs
CHARLESTON -- Worker shortages are looming across state government in a variety of jobs, and the situation could worsen as employees retire.
The Department of Administration is working to fill the gaps. It plans to hold job fairs across West Virginia to attract applicants.
Some fields already are experiencing shortages, including health services, nurses, correctional officers and counselors, law enforcement, engineers, architects and accountants.
The first job fair will be held next Wednesday in Fairmont. Others are planned in Wheeling, Martinsburg, Elkins, Huntington and Bluefield but the dates haven't been determined.
