MSP Airport Hosting Job Fair Thursday

Aug. 16—Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport will host an in-person job fair from noon until 4 p.m. Thursday in the Terminal 1 Silver Ramp.

The job fair will showcase more than 750 full time, part time and seasonal positions at the airport including restaurants, retail stores, rental car companies and aviation-related service companies. The airport's minimum wage increased to $14.25 an hour in July and will increase to $15 an hour in July 2022.

"This is a big push to help bring workers back to the airport and hire additional staff to meet the growing demand for concessions, services and hospitality staff as passenger levels rise," said Eric Johnson, director of commercial management and airline affairs for the Metropolitan Airports Commission, which operates MSP.

Those seeking employment should bring resumes. Applications will be available.

Attendees can take the Metro Transit Blue Line to the Terminal 1 station, which directly connects to the Silver Ramp. Those driving can park in Terminal 1's Red or Blue ramps and access the Silver Ramp by elevator or stairs.

All job fair participants must wear a face mask at the airport to comply with current federal health safety guidelines.
