Quantum Technology Workforce Monitoring Report: November 5, 2025

Monthly new job postings repeat a robust increase

The quantum technology job market showed some resilience last month, despite some regional variations. The preliminary report for October 2025 indicates a global increase in job postings of 7.0% compared to September. Europe experienced a notable rise of 11.5%, while North America followed with an increase of 8.9%. However, the Rest of the World faced a decline of 14.1% in new job postings (see Table 1 below).

This follows a strong performance in September 2025, where the final report revealed a robust global increase of 14.0%. Europe led the charge with a 19.0% increase, North America saw a rise of 7.2%, and the Rest of the World experienced significant growth of 20.6% (see Table 2 below).

Looking at the trailing 12-month count of new job postings (see Table 3 below), October 2025 indicates a global increase of 1.3%. Europe registered a growth of 1.5%, while North America saw a modest increase of 0.2%. In contrast, the Rest of the World showed a more substantial increase of 4.1%.

These statistics reflect the rolling fluctuations in the quantum technology job market, highlighting the importance of strategic talent management across different regions. While the overall trend remains positive, the decline in the Rest of the World underscores the need for adaptive hiring strategies as the industry prepares for future opportunities.
