On May 1, the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) will hold what is said to be biggest jobs and livelihood fair of 2012 simultaneously in 40 venues all over the country.

Labor Secretary, Rosalinda Baldoz, said that the job fair would gather 300 employers and would offer more than 100,000 local and overseas job openings to applicants.

Baldoz said, "It will be hard for new graduates, jobseekers, returning OFWs, out-of-school youth, informal sector workers, and even the general public, to miss a DOLE 2012 Job and Livelihood Fair. There will be 40 of them in various venues in the country's 16 regions."
