Milwaukee Alderman Russell Stamper is encouraging anyone looking for work to attend.
"Harley-Davidson is a major Milwaukee employer, and this recruitment event is a great way to get residents involved with the business and the growing manufacturing industry in Wisconsin,” Stamper said.
The temporary job openings come after Harley-Davidson laid off more than 80 people in the Milwaukee-area last year. This was part of a 180 total job cuts at plants in Menomonee Falls and Kansas City.
Harley-Davidson said the layoffs were due to declining sales at that period of time in the United States.
