LinkedIn’s January hiring data for the U.S. points to a cool start to 2026. 📉 Hiring slowed to begin the new year. U.S. hiring fell 3.3% from December and is down 5.7% compared to January 2025, leaving hiring 16% below pre‑pandemic levels (vs. January 2019). 📊 Slowdowns across sectors remain mild. From December to January, hiring slowed in 17 of 20 industries, although in most industries, the slowdown was mild, easing only –1% to –3%. Year-over-year, hiring held steady in both Construction (+1%) and Technology, Information and Media (+1%), and only slipped slightly in Financial Services (–0.3%). 💡 Resilience observed across industries. The overall pace of hiring is well above 2016 levels in several industries such as Construction (+27%), Utilities (+15%), Consumer Services (+10%), Hospitals and Health Care (+6%), and Education (+5%). 🔎 Competition remains. Competition for jobs rose with fewer job postings per applicant—down 4% from December—and workers are leaving their jobs at about the same rate as before. 📈 Early signs of improved worker confidence. The latest read of our Workforce Confidence Index is showing a recent uptick, especially in confidence to improve financial conditions and grow careers. ❗ However, job seekers are still facing headwinds. Confidence to get a job has risen slightly, but remains near all time lows. In fact, according to our survey, 56% of active job seekers have been on the market for 6+ months. And confidence to get a job is lowest amongst Gen Z workers in comparison to all other generations. For anyone job seeking or considering a move, you’re not alone – and there are signs of momentum ahead as the labor market continues to shift and evolve. If you’re exploring new paths, take a look at LinkedIn’s Jobs on the Rise list to see the roles and industries creating opportunity right now. https://lnkd.in/JOTR26US

Wrapping up my Big Ideas for 2026 with Mastercard Chief Economist Michelle Meyer. We saved one of my favorite topics for last: the outsized role small businesses play in driving our economy forward. Michelle and I discuss a variety of topics from the growth in online‑only startups and entrepreneurs embracing AI tools to compete to how small businesses continue to hire faster than large firms. Small businesses may be leaner, but when they leverage the latest tools we’re finding they have an increased ability to punch above their weight in every part of the economy. 🎥 Watch our conversation to hear the full story.

Last week at the World Economic Forum in Davos, I spoke with business and policy leaders about the trends we’re seeing emerge across the global labor market based on LinkedIn’s data. We had a lot to share from hiring trends across countries, industries, and company size to how AI is impacting jobs and changing skills. But beyond our data, leaders asked a consistent question: "Where are the new opportunities and how do we reach them faster?" Here's what we discussed: 📊 Leverage internal mobility to more quickly open pathways to emerging roles. 📈 Jobs in the new‑collar era have arrived and sit at the intersection of technical skills and human skills — with 1.3M new AI-enabled jobs created in the past two years alone. 📣 Strong leadership is essential to foster a culture that empowers workers to experiment, upskill, and adapt as AI reshapes workflows. 🎥 Watch my video for additional details. And for deeper insights, explore our new Labor Market Report. https://lnkd.in/gPmzHA_r

Over the past few months, I’ve been working to create something that’s missing in the broader tech/law/policy landscape: a show focused on some of the most complex and thorny public policy issues relating to tech, law and the world of work that isn’t stuffy, formal or chock-full of surface-level talking points. That’s why I’ve started The Messy Middle podcast. Subscribe to the newsletter below to learn more and get notified when episode one drops.
