One of the great things about Amarillo is that our unemployment rate is very low, just a touch over 2% of the population is unemployed. Those are great numbers, especially in a time when most companies are laying people off, not hiring.

Now, some of that 2% is by choice. Maybe they're a stay at home parent, or maybe their spouse makes enough to support the whole family. The part of the 2% that is looking for a gig? Well, some may be in a panic to find one, others may be waiting for the right opportunity.

Then there's the part of the employed population that may be looking for their next career, or an upgrade from what they're currently doing. It can be tough to find opportunities though as sometimes they aren't advertised, or you simply didn't know about a company.

Well fret no more my friends, as the 2025 Spring Amarillo Job Fair is here! Put on by Texas Workforce Solutions, there will be over 80 different employers in the Amarillo and Texas Panhandle on-hand ready to talk to you about your next opportunity.
