Bigger and Better Career Opportunities Await at jobsDB's Unlad Kabuhayan Job Fair

Overall, the numbers in employment are very positive and still highly competitive out there, but I do have two pieces of good news for job seekers.

A double dose of good news for those who are struggling to find work. :)
