Working in New Hampshire’s outdoor sector.
UNION LEADER - 7/28/25
““Help wanted” is a common theme across New Hampshire, and outdoor job openings have boomed since COVID, luring students, career changers, retirees and people who don’t want to work indoors all day.
A dead end it’s not. The industry includes everything from gigs at state parks, hotels, restaurants and ski areas (summer, fall and winter) to retail related to boating, camping, hiking, hunting and fishing, golf, clothing and gear manufacturing; trip and adventure guiding; trail building, operations and maintenance; social media marketing to tourists; information technology; and marine law enforcement.
The experience, according to employers and labor analysts, includes customer service, communication, marketing, management, teamwork and planning, and driving commercial vehicles — skills that readily translate to other fields.
