The day coincides with a Construction Jobs Fair and Education Session hosted by Calgary Skyview MP George Chahal. More than 1,000 jobs were available in the construction and trades industries, and educational information was provided about the federal government's multi-generational home improvement tax credit and appliance rebate program.

People in the comments encouraged people to keep looking and even suggested looking outside the city in areas like Airdrie or other rural towns.

It also sparked a debate about whether or not people should wait in long lines if there are only select options available.

If you're still looking for a job, there's another big job fair in Calgary at the end of the month that might be worth checking out.
