More than 100 businesses and agencies will be looking for employees at a private-sector jobs fair to be held Tuesday at the Cradle of Aviation Museum in Mitchel Field from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

There is no charge for admission and parking is free at the museum, which is part of Museum Row on Charles Lindbergh Boulevard, west of the Nassau Coliseum and east of Quentin Roosevelt Boulevard.
