Job growth in Houston is slowing, with the city losing 13,100 jobs in the first seven months of the year, compared to the historical average addition of around 22,000 jobs annually. The primary losses have been in the trade, transportation, utilities, and government sectors. However, there are positive signs, such as major industrial leases, indicating potential for recovery. Additionally, the leisure, hospitality, and construction sectors are showing job gains, with increased hiring in food services and retail driven by post-pandemic consumer behavior and food delivery trends.

Happy Good News Friday!!! A few sectors of note: Hiring was robust in the construction sector, adding 4,500 jobs in August. This aligns with reports from Dodge Data & Analytics, which show construction contract awards through July up $6.6 billion over last year. Administrative and support services, which includes contract workers, added 2,800 jobs as business activities returned to normal post-Hurricane Beryl. Restaurants and bars added 2,600 jobs. Beryl knocked out power to many of Houston’s eateries, so they were closed the first two weeks of July. The job gains in this sector represent the industry returning to normal operations. Wholesale and retail trade added 1,700 and 1,600 jobs, respectively, as their operations returned to normal. Private education added 1,600 jobs as parochial and private schools started back earlier than the area’s public schools. Significant gains in public education employment should appear in the September job data.
