30 ‘AI-Proof’ Jobs Coming to Danbury as College HUNKS Expands Services into New York Markets
College HUNKS expands in North Texas
College HUNKS Hauling Junk & Moving is expanding into Westchester County and Putnam County, New York, creating approximately 30 long-term and seasonal jobs.
DANBURY, CT, UNITED STATES, January 28, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- As artificial intelligence rapidly reshapes the workforce, experts warn AI could eliminate up to 50% of all entry-level white-collar jobs within the next five years, potentially driving unemployment rates to between 10% and 20%. As a result, demand is rising for hands-on work that technology simply can’t replicate, such as helping people move.
College HUNKS Hauling Junk & Moving is expanding into Westchester County and Putnam County, New York, creating approximately 30 long-term and seasonal AI-proof jobs based in Connecticut.
“These are fast-growing markets, and this expansion allows us to support that growth while creating real job opportunities here at home,” said Joshua Harrington, franchise owner of the Danbury-area College HUNKS location. “Moving and hauling are rooted in human connection, teamwork, and leadership, things AI can’t replace.”
Joshua and his wife, Kylie Harrington, bring a unique leadership perspective to the business. Joshua works as an emergency room nurse, and Kylie is a local real estate agent, which are two high-pressure professions that demand communication, empathy, problem-solving, and trust.
“Between the ER and real estate, we see firsthand how critical leadership, accountability, and people skills are,” Harrington said. “That’s what we focus on teaching our team, how to show up professionally, lead with confidence and serve others well.”
One of the core values of College HUNKS is building leaders, offering structured training in leadership development, sales, customer service, and communication. Many employees are entering the workforce for the first time, making the franchise a hands-on training ground for the next generation of leaders.
“This age group is where you can have a lasting impact,” Harrington said. “We’re not just giving them jobs, we’re helping shape future managers, business owners, and community leaders.”
While moving and junk removal are often viewed as “dirty jobs,” College HUNKS franchises nationwide have proven these roles can offer stability, growth, and purpose. The company continues to expand across the U.S. and Canada as demand rises for human-powered services that can’t be automated.
Giving back is central to College HUNKS’ mission. Through its partnership with U.S. Hunger, the company donates two meals for every job completed, surpassing 6 million meals donated nationwide. Locally, the Danbury-area team supports community organizations that help individuals and families transition into safe, stable housing.
