New York, NY – The U.S. labor market is currently experiencing a surge in demand for workers in the technology, healthcare, engineering, and analytical fields. This is according to a recent analysis published by recruitment intelligence provider, SignalHire.
In their article, “The Top 20 In-Demand Jobs in the USA Right Now: Salaries, Growth, & How to Get Hired,” (published on November 10, 2025), SignalHire draws from both internal data and publicly-available sources, including the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) labor projections, to identify the top trending careers in the country.
Some of the key findings from SignalHire’s analysis include software developer, data scientist, registered nurse, cybersecurity analyst, nurse practitioner, financial manager, web developer, operations research analyst, and physical therapist as the hottest job roles with high growth rates, above-average pay, and a talent shortage.
The median wage for a software developer is approximately $132,270, with a projected growth rate of 25% from 2022-2032. Data scientists have a median wage of around $139,030, with a projected growth rate of 35% by 2032, according to the BLS. Registered nurses have a median wage of $86,070, and a projected growth rate of 6%, with a large number of openings due to retirements and increased healthcare demand.
The demand for cybersecurity analysts is also expected to increase significantly, with a median wage of $120,360 and a projected growth rate of 32% by 2032. Nurse practitioners have a median wage of $128,490, and a projected growth rate of 45% by 2032. Financial managers have a median wage of $139,790, and a projected growth rate of 16%.
SignalHire attributes the surge in demand for these roles to several factors, including technological advancements, demographic shifts, healthcare pressure, and a skills gap in the workforce. These trends are also supported by public data, with the BLS projecting a 34% growth rate for data scientists and a 15% growth rate for computer and information technology occupations from 2024-2034.
For job seekers, these roles represent opportunities for high-paying jobs with opportunities for growth and advancement. SignalHire emphasizes the importance of relevant certifications, education, and upskilling in these fields. For employers and recruiters, the data suggests intense competition for talent in these key roles, making it crucial to focus on building pipelines, offering competitive compensation, and investing in skills development.
The skills gap highlighted by SignalHire and public sources also underscores the need for collaboration between education and industry to address the shortage of qualified workers in these fields.
