Posted by New York, NY – Jadakiss has spent most of the latter half of 2021 proving he’s one of NYC’s greats through sheer presence, bars and persona. At JAY-Z’s Roc Nation Job Fair at Madison Square Garden on Friday (November 19), the Yonkers native along with the likes of Angie Martinez gave a boost to would-be job applicants seeking employment.
The event was open to the public and aimed to assist potential employees - many of whom are formerly incarcerated, single parents, veterans and members of poverty alleviation and workforce development programs.
Participating employers joined the citywide effort to offer thousands of positions of all levels to the local New York community. Companies on the job fair floor included: National Football League (NFL), PUMA, Spotify, Union Square Hospitality Group, the New York Yankees, Warner Music Group, JP Morgan, Tiffany & Co., SiriusXM/Pandora, Hot 97, Lowe’s, Madison Square Garden, Amazon, Foot Locker, Live Nation, 40/40 Club and more.
