Top 3 Hiring Industries to Watch in July 2025

When examining media coverage, the job market may seem underwhelming for those looking to start a career or transition to a new one. Companies of all sizes are also feeling the effects. 

Despite macroeconomic uncertainty and hiring freezes, unemployment rates have remained relatively steady, and employment is seeing an upward trend in some industries. 

These industries are not only growing but are aggressively hiring. This post breaks down the top hiring industries in 2025, focusing on three sectors leading job creation. It focuses on why these industries need staff and what it means for employers and talent.

Healthcare & Social Assistance: Meeting the Needs of an Aging Population

While focusing on some of the fastest-growing careers in 2025, some industries are leading the way. Healthcare is one of them. Some of the primary drivers of this growth include aging demographics, the rising demand for chronic care, and expanded outpatient and home care models. 

The aging population will require ongoing care and more complex, specialized services. There is also a growing preference to receive care in homes and communities compared to traditional healthcare settings. In response, some areas of this industry are already facing shortages, especially nurses. However, there is a high demand for many roles, including RNs, therapists, behavioral health specialists, and support roles

While a long-term strategy focusing on retention is often more beneficial than solely relying on short-term contract staff, a hybrid model is a balanced approach offering flexibility and stability. Temp-to-hire can be a good strategy, which allows positions to be filled while employers and employees determine the suitability of a more long-term commitment.

Technology & IT: The Digital Arms Race

The need for tech talent will continue to grow, so organizations must plan accordingly. 

In the coming decade, the U.S. tech workforce is projected to grow at twice the rate of the overall workforce. By 2034, that could result in over seven million jobs. To attract and retain talent, now is the time to navigate the tech talent shortage and secure the most crucial positions. AI, cybersecurity, and cloud computing roles are top priorities for employers, making the market competitive. 

To succeed in this talent race, employers must move fast and offer flexible models, including remote, hybrid, and project-based work. And this demand isn’t just in tech firms—finance, healthcare, and retail are all competing for tech talent.

Transportation & Warehousing: E-Commerce Keeps the Wheels Turning

The e-commerce industry is experiencing sustained growth. As e-commerce sales increase, companies outside of online retail benefit, including those in the transportation and warehousing sector. 

The ongoing job creation driven by consumer demand and logistics innovation is creating opportunities, as roles in this sector are the backbone of supply chains. Even as the industry ramps up its use of automation technology, employment rates remain unaffected. 

This sector can expect continued growth but should also prepare for transformation. Some in-demand roles include supply chain managers, drivers, and warehouse automation techs. As new roles and positions become available, the need for scalable staffing solutions will rise, especially for seasonal and PRN-style labor. There will also be a need for expertise in areas like warehouse management systems, data analytics, and AI applications.
