The Valley Business Today: Jobs! Jobs! Jobs! (And How to Get Them)
Nov 29, 2017
We were in the studio for The Valley Business Today with Sally Michaels from the Frederick County Economic Development Authority & Guy Curtis from Lord Fairfax Community College Workforce Solutions to talk about the thousands of jobs available in our area. They shared the critical need for workers and asked listeners how to get job information to those in their circle of family and friends who are under skilled, under paid or desiring a job change. In the last 6 months, these are the most needed positions in our area with the highest demand:
- “Heavy and Tractor-Trail Truck Drivers” over 985 job postings
- “Registered Nurses” over 438 job postings
- “Maintenance and Repair Workers, General” over 355 job postings.
- Most openings are in Advanced Manufacturing looking for a “jack of all trades”
