The South Coast Hot Jobs List – 10 October 2013

The Greater New Bedford unemployment rate is much higher than the rest of Massachusetts, but believe it or not there really are a lot of jobs available for qualified applicants. Sometimes the barrier to a new job can be the lack of information on available job openings.

We will define “Hot Jobs” as those jobs that need to be filled by the employer immediately.
