About this listen

 Miami's job market reflects Florida's broader economic resilience amid national slowdowns, with steady employment supported by tourism, trade, and real estate, though growth has moderated. The employment landscape features a diverse mix of service-oriented roles, bolstered by the city's status as a logistics hub and international finance center, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics data analyzed by Houzeo in its 2026 Florida livability rankings. Key statistics show Florida's unemployment rate at 4 percent in 2025, projected to rise to 4.5 percent in 2026-2027 before easing to 4.1 percent by 2034, per a recent economic report on the state's outlook. Major industries include tourism, healthcare, international trade via PortMiami, and finance, with top employers like Carnival Cruise Line, Baptist Health South Florida, and University of Miami Health System driving demand.

Growing sectors encompass technology, aerospace, and construction tied to AI data centers, where Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang highlighted six-figure salaries for plumbers, electricians, and technicians amid a national infrastructure boom. Recent developments point to modest job growth, contrasting Tampa Bay's 0.7 percent increase in 2025, with Miami benefiting from population influx and housing demand—median home prices at $617,000 per Houzeo. Seasonal patterns peak in tourism during winter, easing in summer with hospitality layoffs. Commuting trends involve heavy reliance on cars and emerging remote work, though data gaps exist on precise Miami metrics. Government initiatives focus on workforce training for tech and green energy, though specifics remain limited in available reports. The market has evolved from post-pandemic surges to cautious expansion, pressured by AI displacement risks in clerical roles.

Key findings indicate a stable but softening market with opportunities in skilled trades and services, tempered by rising unemployment forecasts. Current openings include software engineer at a Miami tech firm, registered nurse at Baptist Health, and construction electrician for data center projects.
