HOUSTON—Today, the Energy Workforce & Technology Council (EWTC) released its June 2025 jobs report, reflecting a modest dip in employment within the energy services sector amid continued economic uncertainty.
Total jobs in the sector fell to 635,077 in June, a decrease of 3,153 positions from May, according to preliminary data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) and analysis by the Energy Workforce & Technology Council.
Nationally, the U.S. economy added 147,000 jobs in June, and the unemployment rate held steady at 4.1%, according to data released Thursday by the Labor Department. While overall job growth remained positive, signs of a slowing labor market continue to emerge as industries adjust to ongoing tariff pressures and global headwinds.
“While we saw a modest decline this month, the energy services sector remains grounded in strength and resilience,” said Energy Workforce President Molly Determan. “We are operating in a transitional period that is being shaped by quickly changing economic forces and policy shifts. No matter what, the energy workforce continues to drive energy production and support the broader economy.”
