À propos de ce contenu audio

 Los Angeles job market in early 2026 shows a cooling landscape marked by prolonged hiring times averaging 44 days nationwide with local ghost jobs at 30.5 percent of postings per MyPerfectResume's BLS analysis, amid California's sluggish 0.05 percent population growth and Los Angeles population decline from reduced international migration as reported by AOL. Employment remains mixed with state unemployment at 5.6 percent in September 2025 according to LA Progressive, higher than the national 4.0 percent, though youth rates hit 9.2 percent and African American rates 7.5 percent per LAist data; private sector jobs dropped 2.9 percent or 447,000 positions statewide from May to September 2025 due to immigration raids per UC Merced analysis. Trends include a 29 percentage point plunge in entry-level postings since January 2024 per Randstad, AI job surges of 25.2 percent in Q1 2025 with $157,000 median salaries per Veritone, and hybrid work dominance despite return-to-office mandates. Major industries encompass entertainment, tech, healthcare, and tourism, with top employers like Amazon, Disney, and UCLA; growing sectors feature AI, machine learning up 41.8 percent, and data science. Recent developments highlight immigration enforcement causing 259,383 job losses from May to September per AsAmNews, alongside minimum wage hikes to $17.87 in Los Angeles city per Pacific Payroll Group. Seasonal patterns show summer hiring slowdowns, while commuting trends favor hybrid models with 31 percent of firms cutting remote options per ZipRecruiter. Government initiatives include fast-food wage at $20 per hour and 2026 exempt salary minimum of $70,304 annually. Market evolution points to skills gaps, credential inflation, and 3.5 percent wage growth per BLS Employment Cost Index, with data gaps on precise Los Angeles unemployment post-September and 2026 forecasts. Key findings: persistent ghost jobs and AI shifts challenge seekers, but tech opportunities persist amid economic softening. Current openings include AI Product Manager at a Hollywood tech firm, Machine Learning Engineer in healthcare per Veritone trends, and entry-level data analyst at UCLA.
