À propos de ce contenu audio
New York City's labor market reflects broader national trends of stalled job creation and shifting employment dynamics. According to recent analysis from LinkedIn, the city's unemployment rate matched the national rate of 4.5 percent in November, indicating a relatively stable but fragile employment environment. However, this headline figure masks significant underlying weaknesses in job growth and wage pressures affecting households across income levels.
Job creation has sputtered dramatically since the first quarter of 2025, with employers nationwide adding just 28,000 jobs monthly since March. Most positions being added concentrate in healthcare and social assistance sectors, while manufacturing and goods-producing industries have shed jobs or remain stalled. This pattern affects New York City directly, as the healthcare sector emerges as a safe harbor for employment growth while traditional industries face headwinds from tariff policies and reduced consumer demand.
The fastest-growing job categories in New York City reflect a pronounced shift toward technology and strategic advisory roles. According to LinkedIn's analysis of three years of user data, AI engineers rank as the number one fastest-growing position in the city, mirroring national trends. AI consultants and strategists hold the second-place position, signaling that companies increasingly need workers whose expertise extends beyond purely technical skills. These roles typically attract candidates transitioning from software engineering and data science backgrounds.
Lower and middle-income households in New York City face mounting financial stress. Consumer spending that represents 70 percent of economic activity increasingly concentrates among high-income earners, while lower-income consumers cut back substantially. Personal savings rates have declined throughout 2025, falling to 3.5 percent in November compared to 5.5 percent in April. Credit card debt has risen, with nearly half of American consumers carrying balances and 61 percent maintaining that debt for at least a year.
Inflation continues affecting affordability at 2.8 percent, above the Federal Reserve's 2 percent target. Despite this cooling from pandemic highs, prices remain 25 percent above pre-pandemic levels, compressing household budgets further when combined with weak wage growth.
Current significant job openings in New York City include AI engineer positions across major technology companies, healthcare roles in nursing and medical support, and strategic consultant positions in management and business consulting firms.
