From the blog at the NO tv station website:

4:17 P.M. - HOUSTON (AP): Thousands of Hurricane Katrina refugees from Louisiana are in Houston and elsewhere -- wanting a job, a home and a new start. A hastily organized job fair was held today in downtown Houston. The Dallas-Fort Worth Career Conference was held in Arlington.

Oilfield services company Baker Hughes of Houston is seeking engineers. Christian Brothers Automotive advertised for technicians and shop foremen.

The Army posted a contact number, as did the Houston Public Library, the Houston Zoo and a temp agency. The Houston school district also is seeking teachers, counselors and other professionals.

Similar scenes played out in other cities that have taken in Katrina refugees. A job fair in Little Rock included the Arkansas Highway and Transportation Department seeking to fill some truck driver openings.
