Wenatchee is a town on the dry side of the Cascade mountains across from Seattle. Along with nearby mountain towns like Leavenworth, it's known for weekenders and Covid-era WFH people. Its 10% loss of LinkedIn people sounds like workers going back to the city.

Massive layoffs in tech but I have been noticing that a lot of companies are requiring workers to come back to office

DC and Dallas losing workers does surprise me.

Fascinating report! I'd be interested to see a list of all the major cities in the US.

Of the top 10, it's so interesting to see both Nashville and Jacksonville as "job hotspots."

If you went back 10 years for both cities, Nashville would pretty much only be known for its "Music City USA" tourist hotspot destination (although it did always have a very strong economic mix), and Jacksonville as a somewhat sleepy mid-sized city on the coast of northeast Florida.

I hear people bring up Nashville often in conversations for destinations they want to move to. And Jacksonville also seems to be gaining as a more common "move to" destination for relocaters in the job-seeking world.

WFH tech people getting called back to Bay Area tech offices makes sense. You'd have to be nuts to move here in this economy.

Very interesting article.

Nashville has one of the lowest month over month job growth per article.

I am not surprised by the Tech industry taking the biggest hit. But I don't know of any Techies out of work. Maybe its my location but interesting to say the least.

Not every city is growing because of the jobs. Not every city with jobs are growing. Look at Detroit, Boston and Chicago?

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics says metro Charleston was the second-fastest jobs gainer in the country in 2022.

The metro areas below have many students who likely create LinkedIn accounts for the first time when they are residents. Thus LinkedIn doesn't track them as members moving into the university metros (when they are often just age 18 or 19), but does track when they move out after graduation usually four to six years later.

State College PA-----274.06
College Station TX---243.79
Tallahassee-----------119.29

Dallas surprised me but not DC.

Also the fact that according to the article Seattle and the Bay Area are the two worst performing areas in terms of hiring makes me wonder what we’re even looking at.
