Multifamily careers continued to remain durable amidst the pandemic. In May’s edition of NAAEI’s Apartment Jobs Snapshot, the number of available positions in the apartment industry amounted to nearly 13,000 job openings, in-line with recent years. Metros with the highest concentration of job postings included Houston, Austin, Minneapolis, Portland, and Dallas.
This month’s spotlight highlights maintenance managers and supervisors. In Seattle, the demand for these positions was more than 3 times the U.S average, and median market salaries also exceeded the national median. The top specialized skills employers are seeking included repair, plumbing, HVAC, property management, and carpentry skills.
