The ongoing hiring push comes as Queens’ unemployment rate rose to 21.8 percent in June — up from just 3 percent in February — as a result of the economic emergency caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. According to the New York State Department of Labor, more than 1.63 million New York City residents have filed unemployment claims between March 8 and August 8. The prior Virtual Queens Jobs Recruitment Fairs were hosted by Borough President Lee on April 22, May 13, June 3, June 24, July 15 and August 5.
