New Mexico Post 13 hosting annual employment event

American Legion Post 13 in Albuquerque, N.M., will host its fifth annual Operation Hiring Heroes Employment Event from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on April 10.

The annual event at Post 13, 1201 Legion Road NE, draws a variety of employers offering jobs for veterans, transitioning servicemembers and military spouses. While the event, sponsored by New Mexico Workforce Connection, is veteran-focused, it is also open to the public.

Approximately 50 employers are expected at the event, which is free to jobseekers.
