Companies are Hiring: The Rutherford County Chamber of Commerce reports that numbers highlighting the growth of the county also show the changing population. That growth comes with a demand for jobs and currently, 80 employers in the Rutherford County area are looking to fill over 4,000 in-demand positions. As of Tuesday, 80 businesses have registered to attend the second county-wide job fair hosted by Rutherford Works in partnership with the American Job Center.

Rutherford Work's Economic Development team recently found Census data that shows that 44% of those moving into the Murfreesboro area are coming from states outside of Tennessee. The team also uncovered information that only 21% of the new residents moving into Rutherford County are from nearby Davidson County. Meanwhile, 35% of the new residents Rutherford County has seen in recent months have moved into this area from other communities within the Volunteer State.
