The City of Little Rock has been named among the top 25 fastest cities for job growth in the nation, according to LinkedIn.
According to the top networking platform in the nation, Little Rock’s economic momentum and strength as a healthcare, manufacturing and logistics hub make it stand out.
LinkedIn highlighted major initiatives and expansions at the Port of Little Rock and Downtown redevelopment, making it one of the cities that is “on the rise.”
Mayor Frank Scott highlighted the report. “This type of recognition is becoming commonplace as stakeholders like the Port of Little Rock, Little Rock Regional Chamber, Arkansas Economic Development Commission, and others recruit employers and share the great news about our city,” Scott continued. “Year after year, we have set records for the number of people employed in our community, and the best is still yet to come.”
Arkansas’s capital city trailed only Nashville, Tennessee, on that list.
