Malaking tulong ang gaganaping Jobs fair ng DOLE sa iba’t ibang mga lugar dito sa Pilipinas.Sa ganitong paraan matutulungan at mabibigyan ng oportunidad ang ating mga kababayan na makapag apply ng trabaho mapa lokal man o abroad.Hindi na sila mahihirapan pa sa pag apply dahil sa mga gaganaping Jobs Fair sa buong Pilipinas sa magkakaibang mga petsa,di na nila kailangan pa lumuwas ng Manila kase meron ding gaganapin sa bawat Probinsya.Mababawasan din kahit papaano ang mataas na unemployment rate dito sa atin kase simula nung nagka pandemic madami ang nawalan ng trabaho dahil sa pagsasara ng mga pabrika,restaurants at ibat iba pang mga negosyante na siyang naging dahilan na matanggal at mawalan ng trabaho ang karamihan sa atin.
