Entry points along Main Street

Melrose's entry-level work clusters along Main Street. The supermarkets on Essex Street and upper Main Street use stockers, baggers, cart attendants and cashiers, and the downtown cafés, pizza places and restaurants use dishwashers, prep help and counter staff. West Wyoming Avenue and Franklin Street have smaller versions of the same.

Healthcare has entry-level roles as well: dietary aide, housekeeper, patient transporter and companion work. They are found around the hospital on Lebanon Street, in the medical offices on Main Street and at the assisted living on Essex Street, and home care companions visit older residents all over the city.

Without a car, the 137 bus runs along Main Street, the 131 serves Franklin Street and the Lebanon Street corner of Main, and the commuter rail stops at Wyoming Hill, Melrose/Cedar Park and Melrose Highlands, each near a cluster of shops.
