THE AUDIBLE.COM STORY

At a recent Newark Public School Professional Development session a NPS administrator shared this story.

​"Recently Audible.com developed a partnership with NPS and the City of Newark to hire Newark residents to work at Audible. There were 3000 openings. Jobs were entry level positions, did not require a college diploma, and started at between $60,000 and $80,000 per year.  

Short story, at the conclusion of this initiative 2 Newark residents qualified for the positions and were successfully hired.

WHY?

  • 60% of the people employed in Newark are white

  • 20% Latino 
  • ​Only 18% of Newark Residents actually work in the city of Newark 
  • Average unemployment is 8.8%- 70% higher than the national average(5.3), 60% higher than NJ (5.6)
