New Bedford Guide Your Guide to New Bedford and South Coast, MA
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.
