Job seekers interested in finding location-specific resources for other countries should use the International page.The majority of the listings here are for the state employment services and local newspapers. We also have a page with links to information on How to File for Unemployment Benefits for all states.

Large Job Banks with a Local Focus
- Internet Job Source
- ...links to government jobs in most states, dozens of agencies within the federal government, and many Fortune 500 companies. Search for a job by major industry or state, or click to check out the major newspapers, magazines, and other news and government resources available through this site.
- LocalJobBoard.com
- ...a job board focused on local listings, and by local I mean specific cities / regions within each state plus the District of Columbia. Select your targeted state, then browse by job category or location. I like the fact they tell you how many listings are under each category. They also add local economic news and occupational information for each state and each city (if available).
- LocalCareers.com
- ...operates job boards in all states plus the District of Columbia, but I like their central site better. Yes, you can access everything from the local board here, and it is much more forgiving in the search fields.
