Maine is home to two Fortune 500 companies--Energy East, a utilities company in New Gloucester, and Fairchild Semiconductor Intl., in South Portland. Job applicants with training in engineering, business management, or information technology can find some of the best career opportunities in these companies.

Maine's largest city, Portland, offers a wealth of job opportunities in a number of fields. Students in nearby Sanford study in a variety of healthcare fields. The healthcare industry, expected to see nationwide growth in the coming years, should have a positive effect on jobs in Maine, where Salary.com reports that medical assistants earn $25,300 on average and massage therapists earn anywhere between $34,200 and $51,900.

Maine's labor force of 681,400 is mostly employed in the trade, transportation, and utilities industry, although careers are also abundant in educational and health services, as well as state and local governments.

As of May 2007, Maine's 4.5% unemployment rate puts the state directly in line with the national average. Typically, factors such as education and work experience have the greatest impact in an individual's job search, particularly in growth fields such as:
