Alexa Farrell has The Real Deal when it comes to careers in the transportation
industry.
Whether you
realize it or not, you likely can't go a day without some form of
transportation, which makes sense as to why the transportation industry has
made a huge jump in hiring.

"We are past 100% of pre-pandemic levels in ridership,
so it's important to keep the schedules and keep the service reliable," says Doug Holcomb, the CEO of Greater Bridgeport Transit.
"We've seen a 23.7% surge year-over-year in job gains in
that sector alone," says Caleb Silver, of Investopedia.
Other industries seeing a rise include arts and
entertainment, along with merchant wholesalers.
Greater Bridgeport Transit is hiring
for both city bus and mini bus drivers - full and part-time. They're also
hiring mechanics, bus cleaners and administrative positions.
Holcomb says that their employees can expect a starting salary of about $22
per hour along with paid time off and benefits.
