Brother can you spare a job?

The lines were around the block and over 3000 people darkened the doorway at Madison Square Garden's Expo Center on February 28th looking for work. It was daunting but the largely brick and mortar exhibitors were raking in the people they lost during the dot-com boom a year ago. Big guys like Accenture, AIG, Deloitte and Touche were present along with a variety of other companies like Random Walk Computing, Metropolitan Jewish Health System and Toureau. Hotjobs.com rose to the top of the heap, though, as "the source" for job-related resources.
