The industrial city of Newark, New Jersey — close to New York City, and home to Newark Liberty International Airport — is gaining a reputation as home to a buzzy tech ecosystem.
The city houses the headquarters of audio industry giant Audible, as well as a number of smaller startups. The $45 million early-stage venture capital fund Newark Venture Partners has also helped grow a number of early-stage startups.
And that tech ecosystem has translated into a number of open and available jobs, perhaps also benefiting from its close proximity to the five boroughs of NYC. The city ranks highest in offering open entry-level jobs (and ranks second-highest for offering mid-level jobs), according to Coding Dojo's report.
