Job Hunting

Atlantic City Outlets, also called "The Walk", is an outdoor shopping centre that bustles with tourists during the summer season. This is a great place to search for work if you’re interested in retail.  You may also try the Hamilton Mall in Mays Landing for jobs in retail and restaurants. Plenty of boardwalk jobs should also be available in Central Pier Arcade and on Steel Pier for those who long to be near the ocean.
