The American Community Survey shows that Louisiana is home to 427,000 working-age people with disabilities and some 295,000 of them are not in the workforce.  That's why the Louisiana Workforce Commission holds a series of Work Pay$ Job Fairs each October in nine Louisiana Communities, including Shreveport.  In advance of this year's job fairs, LWC is soliciting businesses to participate.  The job fairs are free to both employers and job seekers, but businesses participating do need to register in advance.  You can do that online at http://www.work-pays.org/
