The Riley Guide:Sites with Job Listings

Local U.S. Job Opportunities

Review the US by Region || Review the US by State or Territory
Find Even More Listings

These pages concentrate on unique resources for each state and many of the territories of the U.S. Additional job listings and resources can be found all over the Riley Guide, but these sites and services specifically target the states, their cities, counties, and other municipalities or regions within them. 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.

You may also want to look at our pages for Trade Shows & Career Fairs and Job Search and Networking Groups.

This Google Custom Search will search this site plus select others that we feel will be helpful to you in your search for job and career information.

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.
