A Mississippi official says that hundreds of people have applied for jobs at a food processing facility in the state after a massive worksite immigration operation swept up many of its workers.
According to a report at the Clarion Ledger, Mississippi Department of Employment Security (MDES) communications director Dianne Bell said that the number of applicants for jobs at the plant was at 216 on Wednesday but would likely be updated.

Bell also told the newspaper that a job fair put together to address the newfound employee shortage at the Koch Foods plant in Morton, Mississippi, was originally scheduled from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Monday, but had to be extended to 5 p.m. due to the level of interest.
