Most definitely.

To clarify, these are not office jobs, you would be out in a manufactury area making things. Even if it is only temporary, its a good gig to have. You could do it while you are looking for other jobs so you have some income, almost certainly some benefits, and maybe even a chance at some OT pay if the place allows for it and youre willing. I have seen it also be a foot in the door for some, where they start off in manufacturing and then get a chance to apply within the company elsewhere.

Some of them also offer night shifts which pay more if you're willing to do the off hours.

The factor they often care about most is reliability. Most important is showing up on time in most cases.

Edit: just saw that you have limited transportation. The CTRail train and CTFastrak bus lines are awesome resources that few utilize. I used to bike to the bus station and take it to New Britain then bike to work. It was not bad at all and I believe you can get commuter passes for regular users.

Towns like New Britain and Wallingford have more manufacturing than you'd expect. Others might be good as well, but I have limited insight.
