U.S. financial industry job openings drop to 13-year lows, with 92,000 jobs lost nationwide in February

Gate News Report, March 9 — According to data from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, U.S. financial and insurance sector job vacancies fell to a 13-year low at the end of 2025, with only 134,000 remaining — a 75% drop from the 2022 peak and even lower than the recession bottom in 2001. Market commentary from The Kobeissi Letter warns that the industry may be preparing for more layoffs. Meanwhile, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported an unexpected decrease of 92,000 jobs in February, but the financial activities sector added 10,000 jobs against the trend, making it one of the few bright spots. The information industry, transportation and warehousing, and federal government each reduced about 11,000 to 10,000 jobs. Analysts say the weakening job market could increase the likelihood of the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates.
