Hiring in One of the Tightest Markets in the Country
Austin is a hard place to hire right now, and the numbers explain why. Over the year through May 2026, Austin’s job growth outpaced both Texas and the nation, ranking the metro sixth among the fifty largest in the country. The strongest sector over that stretch was construction, natural resources and mining, which added 5,700 jobs and grew 6.1%, well ahead of both the state and national pace, according to research from the Greater Austin Chamber. In April 2026, Austin had one of the twelve lowest unemployment rates among the top fifty US metros.
