"There are so many opportunities in government. There are all kinds of careers that are here at the town, all in one place."
Municipal jobs are available for workers with all types of abilities and interests. There is an unprecedented number of workers are retiring, and at the same time many people are now seeking jobs with meaning and a service component. Cities and towns offer pay and benefits that make them competitive employers and draw in talented workers with diverse skillsets that are needed to manage the complexities of municipal work and provide services to residents.
The rewards of a municipal career can be job service to your community, competitive pay, a shorter commute, and better benefits than many private-sector roles. There is a wide variety of positions available, from management to HR, information technology, finance, and public works. Often, recent graduates are able to do work in their field right away and while continuing to learn take on responsibilities early in their careers.
