In this photo made Tuesday, Jan. 12, 2010, hundreds of people wait to enter a job fair in Hallandale Beach, Fla., to apply for the 600 retail and cafe jobs in the new shopping project, The Village at Gulfstream Park. Hundreds were turned away. The number of newly-laid off workers seeking jobless benefits rose more than expected last week, as the job market recovery proceeds slowly and unevenly.
