Record-Breaking Number Of Jobs Available In Tennessee

  • Friday, May 20, 2016

The Tennessee Department of Labor & Workforce Development (TDLWD) reported Friday almost 200,000 jobs were posted on the Jobs4TN.gov website in April. That marks a record number of job opportunities employers across the state have advertised on the site.

“As the unemployment rate in Tennessee declines, we continue to see job postings go up. Employers need workers and the Jobs4TN site is the best source for jobseekers to find jobs,” said TDLWD Commissioner Burns Phillips.

Middle Tennessee recorded 96,503 openings, almost half the total job openings for the state.  West Tennessee had just over 60,000 openings and East Tennessee reported 42,000 job openings.

The occupations represented by these openings include health care, computer and mathematical occupations, management positions, sales jobs, transportation occupations, business and finance, food preparation and serving jobs, personal care, building/grounds cleaning and maintenance jobs.  There are a variety of job openings across the state, representing a wide range of educational and skill level requirements.

Jobs4TN.gov was initiated by Governor Bill Haslam to help Tennesseans streamline the process of finding a new career.  Employers in both the public and private sectors post job opportunities on the site. 

Jobs4TN.gov is a free service for job seekers and employers and also offers job seeker career resources.  Click here for the Jobs4TN.gov website.
