From January to February 2025, DFW added 19,800 jobs, with most gains in government and hospitality, while retail experienced losses. The local unemployment rate hasn’t been released yet, but job postings fell by 5.8%, and the Consumer Price Index rose slightly across Texas and the U.S. Registered nurses and software developers were the most in-demand roles. Anesthesiologist openings surged and claims adjuster jobs dropped sharply.

We have recently released an interactive UT Dallas Workforce Pipeline tool on our website that visualizes the number of students enrolled at UT Dallas in degree programs leading to skills in specific careers. Industry, economic development and workforce development partners can use this free tool to understand how UT Dallas is preparing students to work in jobs in emerging industries.
