New Year, New Career: Job Listing Packets Available Online and Across York County
January 7, 2026
More people than ever want to change jobs or make more money in the coming year. A survey by Robert Half found that 38% of workers across the United States plan to look for new jobs in early 2026, a significant increase from 29% a year ago.
The York County Development Corporation (YCDC) is here to help if you want to change careers or are ready to explore new opportunities in the coming months. One invaluable tool is our New Year, New Career packets, which include job listings from around the county in various fields. Residents can pick up physical copies of these packets across York County, Nebraska, or find the jobs on the YCDC employment page.
“YCDC is dedicated to helping York County residents find jobs, while assisting local employers with their hiring needs,” says Lisa Hurley, Executive Director at YCDC. “Talent attraction and development were two key focus areas in 2025, and will continue to drive our efforts in 2026.”

The New Year Can Also Lead to Career Development
Many people seek out new jobs because they want to advance their careers. In the same survey by Robert Half, 34% of respondents said they were looking to change jobs because of limited advancement opportunities. YCDC can also help York residents who want to grow their skills and step into leadership roles.
Consider participating in one of the many workforce development opportunities led throughout the year by YCDC. Specifically, the Dale Carnegie Leadership Course is currently enrolling participants for its winter and spring sessions.
“Developing your skills can help you in your current role, while also making your resume more appealing to hiring managers,” says Hurley. “By investing in local talent, we can help York County residents grow their careers while making this region more attractive for business investment.”
