Summary
627,259 workers were employed in U.S. energy services in June, down 4,043 from May on preliminary BLS data analyzed by the Energy Workforce & Technology Council.
Just over 6,200 jobs have shifted since January, with workforce levels staying in a narrow band through the first half of 2026 as companies kept hiring disciplined.
EWTC said the sector is balancing skilled-labor needs with efficiency and changing market conditions while continuing to support domestic oil and gas operations.
57,000 jobs were added across the broader U.S. economy in June, a slowdown that aligned the sector's June dip with weaker national hiring trends.
