October 2025 Franchise Job Market Report: It’s Complicated.
October 2025 delivered a job market that can only be described as complicated. With the Bureau of Labor Statistics offline during the government shutdown, private data took center stage. ADP showed modest job growth of 42,000, while Challenger reported a 22-year high in layoffs at 153,000. Indeed’s data revealed more people chasing fewer roles, with job-seeker interest up 27% and postings up just 2.7%. For franchises, this means hiring conditions are shifting fast, more candidates are looking, but precision and speed matter more than ever. In a month where data got messy and uncertainty ruled, smart, data-driven hiring platforms like Business Draft stand out by helping franchise owners match faster, hire better, and keep their pipelines strong even when the market isn’t.

October Jobs Report: A Market Holding On or Starting to Slip?
October’s job growth took a breather, adding only 12,000 jobs—way below the expected 100,000 and a sharp drop from September’s 223,000. Key sectors like healthcare (+52,000) and government (+40,000) showed strength, but manufacturing struggled with a 46,000-job loss, mainly from strikes like Boeing’s. Despite the slower job growth, the unemployment rate held steady at 4.1%, and wages inched up 0.4% month-over-month. Temporary disruptions, including hurricanes and strikes, played a role in the low numbers. With inflation cooling, the Fed is likely to cut rates to support the economy. It’s a sign of a market finding its balance, rather than a full stop.
