Labor Day is always the unofficial end of summer. School buses are back on the road, vacations are coming to an end, and New Jersey’s workforce is settling back into the usual weekday rhythms. While the job market never really slowed down over the summer, expect it to really heat up as we head into fall.
This week’s Jersey Digs Job Board once again proves how deep and wide New Jersey’s employment base runs. We’ve got global banks in Jersey City building out next-gen cybersecurity and payments tech, a Rahway pharmaceutical giant breaking boundaries in obesity research, an engineering firm and two real estate service leaders building the future, and NFL Films amping up its production machine out of Mount Laurel. It seems back-to-school season comes with plenty of back-to-work energy too.
