2023 California Jobs Market Briefing

In recognition of Labor Day, we released the annual California Jobs Market Briefing (PDF) with data on high-demand jobs and information about many programs and services that help connect job seekers with hiring employers.

We also published our 2023 Stronger Jobs, Stronger Communities feature page showcasing the top five in-demand occupations in each of the State’s 15 economic regions as well as infographics and videos that illustrate those occupations. The page contains information and tools to help job seekers find which industries are hiring.

California has maintained strong post-pandemic job growth, averaging over 31,300 jobs gained per month in 2023 - completely recovering key industry job totals, and in several sectors, growing beyond pre-pandemic levels.
