Industries where workers most frequently cite understaffing as their organization’s top barrier are often the same industries cutting headcount most aggressively.
This is according to a Gallup Q3 2025 industry survey covering 23,068 U.S. professionals across the selected industries.
In the graphics above, we used the survey’s data to show the industries in America where it’s most difficult to hire.
Interestingly, healthcare employees report the highest staffing concerns at 44%. Yet 21% of healthcare organizations are reducing headcount. But it doesn’t end at healthcare.
