Katherine Gilson of Florence has been job hunting for about two months now so that she can work closer to her home.
"I'd like a short commute," she said. "A little more flexibility," she said.
Fortunately, she lives near Cincinnati-Northern Kentucky International Airport and has a scientific background in quality assurance. The airport's growth is evident by the amount of construction happening in multiple sites, and those sites need workers.
"This growth is a sign that things are only going to get better for CVG airport," she said while attending a CVG job fair earlier this week.
The airport is now working to gather all of the available airport-related jobs in a single online portal. The online list already has more than 80 jobs listed from 26 different companies. And as construction projects like Amazon, FEAM Aero and Aeroterm near completion, those numbers are expected to increase.
