Employment
Fort Drum is made up of 107,265 acres with both on post and off post jobs and housing. Some job opportunities include day care providers, school teachers, nurses and custodial workers. There is also a Teen-In-Hire program that helps teens in school obtain jobs. Housing is more difficult to obtain on post because of rapid number of families moving to the North country. When families are unable to get a house they are sent to stay at the Fort Drum Inn, cottages, guest house, cabins or the LeRay Mansion. These facilities are under the care of Fort Drum Lodging.
