Massachusetts Jobs - Top 10 Hot Careers in Weymouth

The villages of Weymouth, a community of largely Irish descent, have easy access to over 80,000 jobs in the Greater Boston Area during early 2011. Located close to Cape Cod as well, Weymouth MA is an ideal suburb and travel base just twelve miles southeast of the center of Boston.

According to Money Magazine online, Weymouth is the #52 out of the 100 Best Places to Live in America. Testamonials from a cross-section of residents placed on the city's website indicate that all ages, singles, and families are happy living in Weymouth. The town is made up of four separate villages, each with its own center or mall that includes a recognized historic district: Bicknell Square, Columbian Square, Jackson Square, and Weymouth Landing.

Weymouth enjoys access to at least four modes of public transportation, with an airport within a short ferry ride. These modes of transport are two MBTA buses and one commuter rail line, Boston Harbor Cruises (ferries) and Harbor Express (boats/ferries to the City of Boston and to Logan Airport).

The major highway through Weymouth cuts the Weymouth Landing Village Center in two with Washington Street or Highway 53/18. This is a high-traffic transportation artery that brings new businesses, customers, and residents into the commercial area/mallway.

One of the nationally important historic landmarks in this area is the Weymouth Landing Post Office, built prior to American entrance into WWII in 1941 as the city's first Federal Building. It features a mural by artist Guy Pene du Bois,showing the initial landing of the first white settlers on Weymouth's shores in 1622, related to Plymouth Colony.

Front Street is another important roadway in the Weymouth Landing area as well, supporting seven historic homes under city preservation programming. The Whittemore House is touted as the oldest, from pre-Civil War days, about 1830. Tufts University Library is also located in the Weymouth Landing area. Period-era shops from Revolutionary and Civil War eras and other retail establishes thrive in this commerical district.

Other village centers include Bricknell Square, Columbian Square, and Jackson Square, the largest of the four centers. Columbian and Jackson commercial districts contain the highest numbers of historically recognized buildings and installations, preserved by city programs.

Among the four commercial districts and villages of Weymouth, jobs are increasing gradually as ongoing city development comes to fruition. The Travel and Tourism industry draws visitors interested in history and Early American life as well as to theaters, other entertainment, and shopping.

Included in the Greater Boston Area, the suburb of Weymouth is expected by Boston city labor analysts to participate in the 83% or more of new jobs expected through 2016 to emerge from Healthcare, Social Assistance, Professional, Scientific, and Business industry sectors, including Hi-Tech.

Healthcare is expected to produce 65,000 jobs from 2006 to 2016 and this trend has shown in job listings from 2006 - 2010. Professional and Technical jobs will continue be in highest demand, with service related jobs in second-highest demand in Boston and Weymouth
