A job fair for the Oshkosh Corporation drew crowds to the Oshkosh Convention Center over the last two days. Company spokesman John Daggett says they had roughly 1,400 to 1,500 people apply for positions on each day.
The Oshkosh Corporation is hiring, after receiving a $1 billion military contract to build mine-resistant all-terrain vehicles. Daggett says it's probably the largest turnout they've had for a job fair.
Daggett says people from most of the Fox Valley region turned out for the job fair.
The military contract calls for $2,200 of the all-terrain vehicles, which are designed specifically for the rough terrain that soldiers encounter in Afganistan.
