Denver Airport held a job fair to plug its huge labor shortage. An exec said he’d hoped 5,000 people would come – but only 100 showed up.

Only about 100 people turned up to a job fair aimed at plugging Denver International Airport’s huge labor shortage.

Denver Concessionaires Association (DCA) President Dennis Deslongchamp told ABC7 Denver that organizers had hoped for around 5,000 people at the fair on Saturday, which he called a “very lofty goal.”

Organizers wanted to fill around 1,000 jobs at the airports, he said.

But only around 100 people came to the four-hour fair, Deslongchamp told ABC7.
