Looking for a new gig, job, or career during these COVID-19 days? Well, you’re sort of in luck. There are more than sixty businesses hiring right now in Newport.

For those wondering what impact COVID-19 has had on the job opportunity market, we looked at how many job opportunities that we curated at this time over the last two years.

Based on our unscientific data, it looks like there are approximately 40-50% fewer job opportunities at this time compared to previous years.

• In 2019, we wrote about 115 job opportunities available on March 27th, 2019 and 118 job opportunities available on March 21st, 2019.
