The Energy Workforce & Technology Council has released its April 2025 jobs report, indicating a steady employment trend in the energy services sector despite broader market transitions and ongoing global trade uncertainty.
Total jobs in the sector reached 639,378 in April 2025, reflecting a minor month-over-month dip of 388 positions from March, according to preliminary data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) and Energy Workforce analysis.
Nationwide, the U.S. economy added 177,000 jobs in April, demonstrating resilience in the face of global economic headwinds. The national unemployment rate remained unchanged at 4.2% for the second consecutive month.
“This month’s numbers reflect a sector holding firm during a period of adjustment,” said Energy Workforce President Molly Determan. “We are in a transitional phase, but our industry continues to show stability. The workforce remains strong, and we’re confident in the long-term outlook for domestic energy production and the critical role our sector plays in strengthening the U.S. economy.”
