Pretty much.
You have to understand the purpose of this "Job Fair" was not to actually hire or give jobs to people, but to create the illusion that Chicago "cares" and is doing something about unemployment, along with justifying the existence of the those city employees that put on the "Job Fair". It was not designed to actually accomplish anything, merely to give the appearance of accomplishment.
I'm sure a great deal of planning and preparation went into the "Job Fair" and numerous reports, statistics, and metrics were created to measure "success". The fact that precisely zero people were even interviewed, much less hired has no bearing on the "success" of this event.
