AUSTIN JOB MARKET SNAPSHOT
Austin added 18,500 jobs over the past year-a 1.4% gain while the national economy stayed unstable.
Healthcare hiring is up 12% this month. Tech layoffs down dramatically
But only 16% of Austin jobs are in tech. The other 84% run on healthcare, education, hospitality, construction, and logistics.
Average hourly pay sits in the mid-$30s, making Austin one of the higher-earning metros in the country.
Takeaway: Austin is experiencing sustainable expansion (the kind that doesn't come with mass layoffs six months later). Employers are hiring thoughtfully. Job seekers have options. Whether you're hiring or hunting, Austin's job market is open for business.
RESTAURANT RECOMMENDATION OF THE WEEK
Le Calamar (Bouldin Creek)
A French bistro that gets it right: Wagyu that's perfectly cooked, Parisian-style gnocchi in brown butter, and Vichy carrots with tallow tree honey. They've got a $77 prix fixe if you want the full experience, but the à la carte menu doesn’t disappoint either. It's French food with Texas nods - including the art on the walls. Perfect for when you need to impress a date or celebrate closing a deal. Located in the old Underdog space, Bouldin Creek.
WEATHER FORECAST FOR THE WEEK
What to wear: Layers. Keep a jacket in the car all week.
Monday starts cooler (upper 50s-low 60s), then we're climbing to near-record territory by Wednesday and Thursday - upper 70s, possibly kissing 80. Friday brings another front that drops us back to mid-60s. Saturday dips to upper 50s. No rain in sight, which means your outdoor plans are safe but your Cedar Fever might not be.
PLAN YOUR WEEKEND IN AUSTIN
Austin Trail of Lights (Opens Dec 10): The 60th annual tradition returns to Zilker Park with 2 million lights across a 1.25-mile walk. It's the essential Austin holiday experience, which means it's crowded and totally worth it. Runs through Dec 23.
Armadillo Christmas Bazaar (Dec 13-21): Local art shopping with live music at Palmer Events Center. This is where you find gifts that don't look like you panic-bought them at the Domain. The Armadillo Christmas Bazaar is in its 45th season.

BUSINESS WATCH
Austin Named #1 City to Start a Business: USA Today ranked Austin the best city in America to launch a business. The data backs it up: 7,000+ new businesses in 2024, 13.5% business entry rate, relatively low "death rate" compared to other metros. Austin's startup ecosystem is worth $89 billion, with almost $4 billion in venture funding this year.
Austin's breakfast taco economy generates $300M annually. That's more than most tech startups. Tell that to anyone who thinks tacos aren't serious business. Only 16% of Austin jobs are in tech. The other 84% run on healthcare, education, hospitality, construction, and the people making your breakfast tacos at 7 AM.
Amy's Ice Creams Turns 40: The Austin institution celebrated 40 years in November. Founded by Amy Simmons in 1984 on Guadalupe Street, the shop still rotates 350+ flavors and still does the famous ice cream scoop toss. Some things are worth keeping weird.
The Closures We're Mourning: 2024 saw Austin say goodbye to Oat Willie's (56 years), Baby A's Barton Springs location (40+ years), and Giddy Ups (20+ years). The rent goes up, the neighborhood changes, and we lose another piece of what made Austin feel like Austin. Support your local spots while they're still here.
REAL ESTATE RATE WATCH
The number: 30-year fixed mortgage rate averaging 6.19% as of last week, down from 6.23% the week before. That's a half-percent lower than this time last year.
Bottom line: If you're serious about buying in Austin, this is probably as good as it gets for the next year. Run the numbers, talk to a lender, and make the move if it works for your budget.
AUSTIN NOTABLE HIRE
Justus Zimmerman takes over as CEO of the Austin Symphony Orchestra on February 1. He'll lead Austin's oldest performing arts organization into its next chapter.
THIS WEEK'S PRO TIP
Employers: Saying "competitive salary" without posting a range is the fastest way to lose good candidates. Give them a number or watch them apply elsewhere.
Job Seekers: The city's maturing, which means the culture matters more than ever: business happens over breakfast tacos, networking happens at Zilker Park on Saturday mornings, and "Austin casual" is a real dress code. SXSW, ACL, and F1 aren't vacation days - they're networking goldmines. Your lifestyle upgrade is one conversation away.
