About this listen

 Baltimore's job market remains robust with nearly 97,000 openings listed on Indeed, reflecting a diverse employment landscape driven by healthcare, government, logistics, and education sectors. The unemployment rate hovers around 4.5 percent based on recent Maryland Department of Labor data, though specific 2026 Baltimore figures show gaps due to limited localized updates. Major industries include healthcare led by Johns Hopkins Medicine, government via state agencies like the Maryland Department of Health and State Police, and logistics with port-related roles; key employers encompass federal entities such as the FBI, Carvana for delivery, and nonprofits like Behavioral Health System Baltimore.

Growing sectors feature data centers and advanced manufacturing, boosted by Constellation's acquisition of Calpine adding capacity for critical infrastructure per POWER Magazine reports. Trends indicate steady demand for warehouse, administrative, and technical positions, with seasonal upticks in retail and shipping during holidays, though 2026 hotel weakness from hurricanes noted by CoStar impacts tourism jobs. Commuting patterns favor public transit and remote hybrids, with many roles in Baltimore City drawing from surrounding counties. Government initiatives through the State of Maryland Job Openings portal promote hiring in public safety, health, and child services, offering salaries from $45,000 to over $100,000 annually. Market evolution shows resilience despite Maryland ranking second-worst for startups per WalletHub's 2026 study, offset by strong public sector stability.

Recent developments include executive retirements at Baltimore Development Corporation and persistent openings in state roles like Administrative Officer II in Baltimore City at $58,000 to $90,000 yearly. Data gaps persist on precise unemployment breakdowns and long-term commuting stats.

Key findings highlight abundant entry-level and skilled opportunities, particularly in public service and logistics, amid moderate growth.

Current openings: Bmore POWER Outreach Worker at Behavioral Health System Baltimore paying $21.22 hourly part-time; Seasonal Warehouse Associate at STX in Baltimore; Mailroom Clerk at AB World Food Market at $21.40 to $22.40 hourly full-time.
