Held in a different city each year, this will be the third time in the Show's 63-year history that it will be staged in Los Angeles. Other Show visits to Los Angeles were in 1954 and 1978, both of these Shows were overwhelming successes.
Admission is free .
Showgoers who have ever wondered about what goes through a fire fighter's mind as he or she enters a burning building, or what is involved in producing the special effects for a science-fiction movie, or what it's like to be a pilot, a flight attendant, a welder, or a bricklayer, will be able to get their questions answered. The Show is considered by many as the largest job fair in the country. For young people, in particular, the Show is a great place to get a first-hand look at the wide range of good jobs that are available for those who prepare for them. The Show will feature about 400 unions and companies with union-represented employees, some from the Los Angeles and Southern California area. The AFL-CIO Union Label and Service Trades Department, which produces the Show, plus the family of the California Labor Federation, Los Angeles County Federation of Labor, other central labor councils, local unions, and employers large and small, are all helping with this year's Show and are issuing special invitations to young people to attend.
