A job is pretty hard to find nowadays.  It is quite disheartening when you browse the internet for listed jobs and you find job offerings are mostly for people with college degrees.  Moreover, the jobs listed are either temporary in nature or broken time, which means that the work is not available at least forty hours a week.  If that is how scarce jobs are for people who went to college, how hard would it be for a jobseeker who do not have a degree.  Fortunately for me there are available good jobs in Jacksonville NC.

I consider myself fortunate because a relative of mine was in such a situation.  He used to work as a welfare assistant in Albany for a number of years.  State budget cuts due to the economic crisis forced the State Government to lay off a considerable number of employees and my friend was one of those that were let go.  He was not able to finish college and only his knowhow and experience as a social worker is his qualification to look for another job.  I realized how difficult things are for him considering that he has a wife and two kids.  So I discussed with him the possibility of trying out listed jobs in Jacksonville NC.  That is if he was willing to sacrifice for a little time and go and seek employment down there by himself at first.  Once he is successful and be able to fully settle down, then he could transfer his entire family afterwards.  I was pretty confident that he will be able to find among the jobs in Jacksonville NC something that would suit his expertise.

A majority of the jobs in Jacksonville NC are provided by the government.

  Twenty six (26%) percent of jobs in Jacksonville NC is through the United States military or allied services that cater to the United States Marines.  The Marine Corps base of Lejeune is located along the New River which astride Jacksonville City of Onslow County.  The City of Jacksonville is the county seat of Onslow.  It has a population of 80,000 people including marine personnel and their families.  Aside from the military, jobs in Jacksonville NC available through the government are in the field of education and welfare services.  It is in those fields that I was hoping my relative will be able to find work.

It was not easy going for my relative when he arrived in Jacksonville .  He brought credentials from the State office in Albany, but it took some time for him to land a regular job.  Opportunely, there are numerous odd but well paying jobs in Jacksonville NC.  While he was waiting for the result of his application in the State Welfare Department as a social worker, he was able to do some jobs in Jacksonville NC as a part time waiter in the several food service outlets outside the marine base.  Today the entire family is now residing in Jacksonville NC.
