Multiple events will be held through virtual platforms throughout the state, with certain in-person services and resources also available at some sites.
The Texas Workforce Commission hosted the 8th annual statewide Hiring Red, White and You! job fair on November 7, 2019 in cooperation with the 28 Boards, TVC, the Texas Medical Center, and Governor Greg Abbott. Over 14,450 job seekers and over 2,225 employers attended the statewide job fairs in 2019. Since 2011, Hiring Red, White and You has connected more than 98,600 job seekers, including 38,925 veterans and spouses, along with 16,650 employers and over 2,700 same-day hires.
It is estimated that there are 1.7 million total veterans in Texas, of which 967,000 are working or actively seeking work. By holding HRWY job fairs across the state, Texas employers can more easily connect to this highly qualified group of servicemen and servicewomen across the state.
