Top 5 Industries Hiring in Middle Tennessee
Health care, Tech, and Services jobs lead the list of in-demand sectors across Tennessee, according to expert.
Nashville is known as the health care capital and generates roughly $84 billion in global revenue annually. It’s this area’s top industry, growing at a rate of more than 11% locally, which is faster than the national average.
“Even before the pandemic, we had a shortage of nurses and a shortage of other health care providers and that has continued,” an expert says.
Tech opportunities are also taking over. With the likes of Amazon and Oracle changing the landscape, there’s never been a better time to try tech.
“When you think about technology, it’s not just an industry in and of itself. It really filters through every other industry.” For example, Coleman continues, “Automotive is huge in Middle Tennessee and advance manufacturing is huge.”
And there’s an opportunity to sell those products outside of the region, which still brings dollars back to Nashville.
Next on the list involves big business. “We are also looking to recruit corporate operations or business services because of those high-wage jobs, says the expert.”
Think positions that keep major companies operating, “Back office, corporate operations, headquarters, legal, [and] accounting.”
Last on the list is entertainment and hospitality which is Nashville’s #2 industry.
