Listeners tuning in from Raleigh-Durham will want to know that the local job market is buzzing with activity, as employers post a new wave of open positions heading into the holiday season. Durham County’s official careers portal lists fresh public sector roles for those seeking security and purpose, including openings this week for clinical social workers, deputy sheriffs, community health workers, senior public health nurses, HVAC technicians, and detention officers. Organizations need skilled telecommunicators to answer emergency calls and income maintenance caseworkers to keep public assistance programs running smoothly, with multiple roles posted just since November 15.

Private sector hiring is just as lively. On the latest roundups from Indeed, listeners will find hundreds of new positions added in the past seven days. In Durham, companies are searching for medical billers, substitute teachers, route support staff, and customer service associates—with salaries ranging from hourly rates in the teens to more than $60,000 per year for full-time roles requiring a knack for client satisfaction and ERP systems. Retailers, warehouses, and logistics firms want stockers, warehouse clerks, and personal shoppers who thrive in fast-moving environments. At Mcgrath Electric and The Macomb Group, warehouse associates and clerks not only earn between $15 and $22 an hour but also benefit from matching retirement plans and paid time off.

Across Raleigh, listeners will hear the call for seasonal associates at North Hills and part-time food service roles at Wegmans and other grocers, perfect for those seeking flexibility or a side gig while shopping or studying for exams. Customer service representatives are in strong demand, with starting wages over $24 an hour at VA Visionaries and Capitol Coffee—roles featuring full benefits packages and chances for skills development on the job. For folks with administrative expertise, many organizations have ramped up hiring for administrative assistants, receptionists, and office staff, with compensation often exceeding $20 an hour.

Professional opportunities in finance and healthcare are robust in both cities. At Robert Half, a fast-growing company in Raleigh seeks an accounts payable manager, offering between $85,000 and $110,000 per year with hybrid work schedules, annual bonuses, and benefits. For experienced finance specialists, a construction firm is ready to pay up to $60,000 yearly for AR and collections expertise. Medical claims analysts and temporary administrative assistants are needed both in Raleigh and Durham, with competitive hourly rates and potential for contract-to-hire arrangements.

Public safety, utilities, and technical roles continue to be a steady source of openings. The city of Raleigh needs community-minded listeners for customer service, transportation, and maintenance jobs, while ABC11’s employment listings encourage applications from those interested in broadcast and technical positions.

Retail and hospitality remain reliable for those seeking entry-level work or supplemental income. Deli team members, dishwashers, and food service workers are wanted on part-time shifts, giving listeners a chance to earn while balancing personal priorities.

For those eager to match their skills with the needs of local employers, the past week has delivered dozens of new prospects, ranging from front-line community roles to specialized positions in finance, healthcare, and administration. The diversity and volume of openings evidence a vibrant Raleigh-Durham economy where proactive listeners can quickly reconnect to meaningful work as 2025 moves toward its end.
