America's Workforce, By the Numbers 💼

What We're Showing

This map shows the number of jobs in every U.S. state in 2025, along with each state’s annual job growth rate.

Key Takeaways

• California (18.2M) and Texas (14.5M) employ more people than any other states, anchoring the nation’s largest labor markets.
• The 10 largest states hold half the country’s jobs, reinforcing how concentrated U.S. employment remains.
• Job growth in several mid-sized states—including North Carolina (1.5%), South Carolina (1.3%), and Utah (1.2%)—outpaced many larger peers, suggesting that workforce expansion is increasingly happening outside traditional economic powerhouses.
