What's the most in demand job on the market in Portland? Turns out the most in demand job in Portland is registered nurse with 345 current open positions. It's not a software engineer or data scientist to our surprise.

While the ebbs and flows of the economy will make some jobs more fashionable than others, there will always be a large number of jobs available in essential businesses like healthcare, public safety, law enforcement, education, and food and agriculture. So we asked our data scientists at Zippia to identify what the most in demand jobs in Portland, ME actually are based on current job postings. Lately it seems that companies in Portland have a particular interest in registered nurses.

How we determined the most in demand jobs in Portland

Using the Zippia database of several million active job postings, we were able to identify the job titles with the most postings in Portland.

We ordered them from the most to least with the job title having the largest number of active job postings being the most in demand jobs.

It's important to note that the data team did normalize the job titles. So, for example, "Accountant I" and "Accountant" would be normalized to "Accountant". Or "High School Teacher" and "High School English Teacher" would match to "High School Teacher".
