There was a big turn out today at the Civic Center for the fall job fair. More than 1,200 folks attended, including one woman who said the job fair is one of her last hopes to find a job. Leticia McKay is a stay at home mom with two young daughters. She's also been out of work for the past two years. Leticia said the family's finances have become more difficult and she's been forced to sell all their belongings and even give up Taco, one of their pet dogs. They'll also have to move out of their bouse by the end of October. Despite her family's struggles, McKay said she makes sure to keep smiling.
"You've gotta have a good attitude. It goes nowhere to have a bad attitude and I don't think employers will hire a bad attitude. I think a good attitude is what you need," said Leticia McKay, unemployed mother of two forced to sell the family house.
McKay said there's no turning back now and her family looks forward to having a fresh start. She is currently looking for a job in health administration.
