Business Draft Franchise Job Market Report — September 2025

The hiring market hit a steady rhythm in September. While the official jobs report was delayed, data from Indeed and small business surveys show a market that’s cooling, not collapsing. Job openings held near 7.2 million, and quits dropped to their lowest level in almost three years—workers are staying put, and employers are hiring more intentionally. Indeed reports job postings are 4% above pre-pandemic, but 7% lower than last year, with the sharpest slowdown in entry-level roles.

The ones using tools like Business Draft to automate, respond fast, and highlight growth are still filling roles ahead of the pack.
