About Murfreesboro, TN Jobs
Murfreesboro Jobs: Overview
Known to locals as just "The 'Boro," the central-Tennessee city of Murfreesboro has many shops, restaurants, and businesses downtown, but you can also find Murfreesboro jobs at the city's large employers in the warehouse, insurance, and healthcare industries. If you're going to live and work in Murfreesboro, you can still get a haircut and a game of pool at Murfreesboro Pastime Barber Shop and Billiard Room—one game is included with every haircut. While you're there, you might wonder if Al Capone stuck around for a free game after his haircut. According to local folklore, the gangster would make a stop at the downtown barber shop and pool room on his way from Chicago to Florida.
Murfreesboro is also known for the horseshow events it hosts at the Tennessee Miller Coliseum, especially Tennessee walking horse competitions. The city also draws more than 40,000 visitors to its annual Uncle Dave Macon Days festival. The event is named after Uncle Dave Macon, a Grand Ole Opry performer and former resident of Murfreesboro. It features banjo-picking, music competitions, and old-time clogging. If you're thinking about walking, or clogging, through Murfreesboro to look for jobs, you might want to take a side trip to Franklin, Smyrna, or Nashville, as well.
