Online career and recruitment Web site Monster.com is launching a year-long "Keep America Working Tour," a nationwide, multi-city job fair. The tour, which kicked off Thursday in New York City, will visit more than 140 stops nationwide this year.

Monster.com is offering the fairs free of charge to employers with current openings. The tour also gives job seekers access to Monster career advice experts and coaching. The tours will have Monster.com-branded tutorial kiosks, Monster.com career advice and management tool kits and information for employers.

Monster.com is partnering with NPO's Dress for Success and Career Gear, which are focused on helping disadvantaged and underserved men and women become self-sufficient through finding and retaining jobs. Monster has invited these organizations and their respective clients to attend the tour.--Karl Greenberg
