Big Tex is hiring! Since it’s only 90 days to the 2019 State Fair of Texas, seasonal job applications are online for various positions.

“Working at the Fair is just as fun as attending the annual event,” according to Senior Vice President of PR Karissa Condoianis.

The Fair provides more than 7,000 seasonal job opportunities every year. Approximately 2,200 people are employed directly by the State Fair of Texas. The minimum wage for job openings paid by the State Fair of Texas for 2019 is $11.15 an hour, raised from $10 an hour in 2018.
