Rutherford County is booming in the business industry.

Murfreesboro is listed as one of 10 cities with an excess of amazing jobs and not enough people to fill them.

The unemployment rate is declining across the country. The U.S. unemployment rate was 3.7 percent in September and October 2018, a 49-year low.

Some cities have more job availabilities than others. Murfreesboro is one of those places.

“Rutherford County right now is in the top 10 fastest growing job markets in the entire country. The city is growing so fast that it’s creating a high demand for jobs like healthcare, hospitality, financial services. There’s also an emerging tech scene there,” said Winona Dimeo-Ediger, Livability Managing Editor.

Murfreesboro just made Franklin-based economic research company “Livability’s” list of the top places to move if you’re looking for a job. One reason Murfreesboro ranks so high on the list is due to the diversity of jobs available.

“Entry level and then manufacturing and then all the way up to really executive level positions,” said Dimeo-Ediger.

News 2 was told there’s particularly a shortage of people to work in the manufacturing industry.

Dimeo-Ediger said, “That is because so many baby boomers are retiring out of those jobs that they’re leaving a ton of openings and these cities aren’t able to fill them fast enough.”

Rutherford County is also the destination of choice for expanding and relocating businesses.

“That is such a theme in terms of these smaller cities for sure. I know that Murfreesboro and Rutherford County, in general, is making a big push to bring more companies there and it makes total sense in terms of affordability and that day to day quality of life. Like not having a commute, that sounds very appealing,” Dimeo-Ediger told News 2.

She added, “In Rutherford County in the past three years they have added 16,000 jobs.”

There are also a lot of jobs available in Nashville and other surrounding areas, and a lot of people in Rutherford County make the daily commute—which also contributes to the number of opportunities available to you in Rutherford County.

Experts said there is an average of 3,000 jobs available in Rutherford County every single day.
