Working in Lexington
Employment Landscape
Lexington’s job market shows uneven movement. The equine economy remains a major anchor, with institutions like Keeneland and the Kentucky Horse Park sustaining tourism and related roles, while advanced manufacturing hubs such as Toyota’s Georgetown facility continue to support sizeable employment. The tech and STEM sectors are growing, driven by firms like Lexmark, IBM, and local startups, and the region now ranks among the top mid-sized metros for STEM job growth and wage gains. Meanwhile, layoffs tied to the ramp-down at the Bluegrass Chemical Agent Destruction Pilot Plant and Yokohama’s closure are prompting state-funded retraining efforts. Job seekers should expect competition in tech roles, a steady pull from healthcare and education, and challenges for entry-level tech applicants as AI reduces openings even as cybersecurity demand rises sharply.

Typical Roles
Hiring Patterns
Healthcare and education sectors remain stable or modestly expanding thanks to UK HealthCare and the University of Kentucky. Tech and cybersecurity roles show real growth, especially for experienced professionals, though entry-level openings have contracted. Manufacturing continues to deliver, anchored by Toyota and others, while some public projects and plant closures are reshaping demand.
"You may feel the job hunt in Lexington can feel like a slow two‑step forward, one‑step back—but focused fields like cybersecurity and healthcare offer openings for those who match demand."
