Working in West Midlands
Employment Landscape
Job seekers in the West Midlands right now will find a region under pressure but with targeted growth pockets. Unemployment is higher than most UK regions, with figures reaching 5.8 percent in mid‑2025, making it the highest level outside London. Employers in traditional sectors like retail and hospitality have trimmed back, yet construction, professional services, and localized infrastructure efforts are still driving hiring. Notable investments are taking shape, such as Freshways putting £25 million into a new dairy processing hub in West Bromwich and Atos creating AI technology centres in Birmingham. The planned Sports Quarter in Birmingham and tram expansion in Dudley are creating jobs while delivering skills training support to thousands of people. Overall the landscape is challenging but with clear signals of opportunity in targeted sectors. Note that competition is stiff and uneven across sectors.

Hiring Patterns
Hiring is concentrated in construction, professional services and targeted tech and life sciences investments, while retail, manufacturing outside strategic hubs and hospitality have seen cutbacks. Infrastructure and regeneration projects offer tangible openings, though overall vacancies are down and unemployment remains elevated.
"In the West Midlands, it is a competitive market where stability comes from knowing which sectors are actually investing right now."
