PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — The City of Philadelphia shut down a career fair
for ex-offenders today after an unexpected crowd of thousands showed
up, résumés in hand.
There were lots of disppointed job seekers and potential employers this morning.
The city was expecting about 1,000 people to show up, but about three
times that number were standing in a line that wrapped around the
Municipal Services Building, across from City Hall.
And when someone jumped the line, order collapsed.
There was no yelling, no shoving — just 3,000 people all trying to get into the job fair at once.
