The Villages Employment Opportunities
Question: My family and I are looking into moving to Florida and have heard that some of these communities are looking for younger people to work and live within them. Would appreciate any info you could provide or direct us to concerning same.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
DP
Answer:
DP,
The Villages is a fast growing place. In fact, its one of the few places in Florida that saw a net increase in people living there in the past year. Because of the growth, there are new restaurants and businesses opening all the time. Commercial growth (businesses, restaurants, etc.) always follows residential growth. Kind of the opposite of “if you build it they will come.” It’s really, “if they come, well I guess you should build it now.”
So as it relates to jobs and employment for younger folks, yes, there are plenty of opportunities in The Villages. I’ve found that Careers in The Villages is probably the best place to start. I didn’t find many job postings at the local newspaper’s website or on hotjobs.
You might want to check out this thread on Talk of The Villages which offers some suggestions including finding a job in one of the surrounding cities.
