The New Geography of US Job Creation in 2026

What this episode covers

Lucas and Luna examine a surprising shift in the US labor market: job growth is increasingly concentrated in mid-sized cities rather than major coastal hubs. Using May 2026 data showing 159 million payrolls and rising JOLTS openings, they discuss why places like Nashville, Boise, and Columbus are outpacing New York and San Francisco. The episode explores structural factors including remote work permanence, lower commercial real estate costs, and state-level tax incentives. Lucas cites specific Bureau of Labor Statistics data on regional employment distribution, while Luna raises the question of whether this trend will persist if a recession hits. A concrete look at how the geography of opportunity is quietly redrawing the American labor map. #JobCreation #LaborMarket #RemoteWork #MidSizedCities #Nashville #Boise #Columbus #RegionalEconomics #JOLTS #PayrollGrowth #UrbanShift #TaxIncentives #CommercialRealEstate #BureauOfLaborStatistics #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #LaborMarketPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
