July Workforce Index Moves Back Into Stable Range

This post was originally published on this site.

The Monster Workforce Index decreased to 99.2 in July, moving back into the Stable range as industry performance remained mixed.

The Monster Workforce Index measured 99.2 in July 2026, a decrease of 2.0 points from June’s reading of 101.1. The July reading places the national Workforce Index in the Stable range, slightly below its historical benchmark of 100.

For employers, the July reading shows why sector-level movement matters: hiring conditions softened nationally, but several industries continued to strengthen.
