A two-day job fair in Tokyo for bilingual Japanese and foreign students is seeing a sharp drop in participating employers this year amid the nation's worst postwar recession, the organizer said Tuesday.
The number of companies fell from 184 last year to 89, according to DISCO Inc., the organizer of Tokyo Summer Career Forum.
Around 4,000 young job seekers are expected to attend the event running through Wednesday at Tokyo Big Sight in the Odaiba district, up from 3,395 last summer.
