Ruppersberger, Cintas Offer Marylanders Personal Economic Stimulus Packages at Job Fair

Press Release

Major Job Fair Held in White Marsh

Congressman C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger (D-MD) today teamed up with the Cintas uniform company to host a major job fair in White Marsh, hoping to connect unemployed Marylanders with hiring companies. Ranging from hair studios to insurance firms, the event featured many local businesses that have one thing in common: they're hiring

"If you've been laid off or if you're just looking to give your career a boost, this is the perfect opportunity to get yourself your own personal economic stimulus -- a new job," Congressman Ruppersberger said. "In Maryland, employers hired close to 36,000 new workers last month, so the timing was right to hold a job fair. Jobs are the fuel that drives our economy. When you have a job, you can support your family and your community."

Known for providing uniforms, Cintas provides services of all kinds to more than 800,000 businesses across the country. They invited their clients in the Baltimore area to the fair to connect with job-seekers looking for full and part-time positions.

"With over 800,000 customers -- small and large -- Cintas understands the desperate need for forums to connect job seekers with employment opportunities," said Robin Everhart, Cintas vice president of government affairs and corporate communications. "We jumped at Congressman Ruppersberger's invitation to host a job fair in his district and extended the invitation to our local customers, 25 of whom answered the call with openings. We intend to spread the Congressman's idea with job fairs in other cities, with the assistance of our dedicated employees and loyal customers."
