Jobs in Chattanooga, TN

Chattanooga punches well above its size as a job market. Healthcare is the biggest employer, led by Erlanger and CHI Memorial, and BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee and Unum make the city a real insurance hub. Volkswagen's assembly plant anchors a strong manufacturing base, and the city's spot at the junction of I-75, I-24 and I-59 has made trucking and logistics a major industry. The city-owned EPB fiber network also helped grow a small but busy tech and startup scene downtown. Tennessee has no state income tax on wages, and the cost of living is still below most Southeast metros, so a paycheck here tends to stretch further.
