State Senator Joseph P. Addabbo Jr. hosted his annual job fair on November 6, 2026, giving Queens residents an opportunity to meet directly with employers offering positions in a wide range of industries. The event was held at Villa Russo in Richmond Hill.

The gathering attracted hundreds of job seekers, including individuals pursuing their first employment opportunity, searching for work after unemployment, or considering a new career path. Approximately 50 employers and organizations participated, representing fields such as technology, healthcare, hospitality, manufacturing, and finance.

Attendees were able to speak with hiring representatives, submit résumés, participate in on-site interviews, and develop professional connections. The event also supported Senator Addabbo’s continuing efforts to strengthen the local economy by connecting residents with meaningful employment opportunities.

“Every person who walked through the doors brought determination, ambition, and a desire to build a stronger future,” Addabbo said. “The commitment shown by both job seekers and participating employers made this event a valuable resource for the community.”

Senator Addabbo said he intends to continue promoting workforce development and seeking new opportunities that help Queens residents secure stable, meaningful jobs.

“A successful job fair is measured not only by attendance, but by the lives it touches,” Addabbo said. “Helping someone find work, support a family, or take the next step in a career is what makes these events worthwhile. I look forward to continuing this effort and bringing residents together with employers who are ready to hire.”

The senator expressed appreciation to his staff, Villa Russo, and the Queens Chamber of Commerce for helping organize and support the event.
