Will the 2026 job market improve over 2025?
While the US job market tailed off in 2025 due to changes in government policies, economic ramifications due to immigration and tariffs as well as the generally uncertainty caused by the effects of artificial intelligence (Ai) in the workplace, the first two (2) quarters of 2026 will be punctuated by slow growth, with many workers who have been laid off or "job hugging" looking to take advantage of new calendar year budgets in order to find new opportunities.
The "quit rate" (the rate workers voluntarily leave jobs) will increase, showing more confidence in finding new opportunities. The job market will not be as robust as the tech sector continues to reset and other sectors figure out how to best use AI to handle business functions.
