For [job seekers](https://www.ziprecruiter.com/Search-Jobs-Near-Me), there are plenty of reasons to be optimistic: job growth is strong, wages are high and there’s a slew of openings across many industries. Still, economic uncertainty is stoking apprehension about what 2023 has in store for the labor market. As we head into the new year, here are five career trends to keep an eye on. ## Expand your network and your career with the help of ZipRecruiter ### ZipRecruiter allow you to put your resume out there for tons of companies and potential employers to see.

Pay transparency laws in California (which is home to nearly 40 million people) and Washington will take effect in January. This is welcome news for job seekers, but employees who are staying put in their current roles [also stand to benefit](https://money.com/pay-transparency-laws-help-get-raise/). Millions of job postings with detailed salary ranges will hit job sites in 2023, giving anyone with an internet connection a new bargaining chip to help negotiate their next raise. ## Remote and hybrid work Love it or hate it, remote work isn’t going anywhere. Many offices have reopened, but a fully or partially remote schedule is still wildly popular with employees. Of the more than 8,000 employees surveyed by Gallup this summer, just 6% said they want to work entirely in-office. “The Covid experience showed people things they could do in a different way,” says Lynn Berger, a career counselor and coach. At least for now, companies are heeding their workers’ requests: Over half (55%) of Gallup’s survey respondents said they expect to have a hybrid schedule going forward, and 22% said they expect to be able to continue working totally remotely. ## Find your perfect fit using ZipRecruiter ### ZipRecruiter can help you apply for jobs, get tips from industry leaders, and grow your professional network.

Increasingly, employers are enticing hires with offerings beyond paid time off and health insurance. Think mental health care, tuition reimbursement, financial coaching, virtual healthcare and flexible work schedules — just to name a few. A recent survey by health and benefits company Mercer found that more than two-thirds of large employers are planning to enhance their benefits in 2023. If your company doesn’t offer the perks you want, don’t despair. Berger says she’s seen more employees negotiating individual benefits that are unique to them specifically, like a membership to a coworking space or a flexible work schedule that deviates from a traditional 9-5. ## Good prospects for new grads New college graduates can look forward to even more opportunities next year, despite the looming economic slowdown. A recent survey by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) found that employers plan to hire 15% more graduates from the Class of 2023 than they did from the Class of 2022. “Although there has been a lot of discussion about recession, employers are still expecting to bring in more new college graduates this year than they did last year,” Shawn VanDerziel, NACE executive director, said in a news release. ## ZipRecruiter actively helps connect people to their next great opportunity ### Apply to jobs anytime, anywhere and get notified instantly when your application is reviewed.

Tech giants like Twitter, Meta and Amazon have laid off thousands of workers, and additional cuts are likely in the pipeline. While it’s impossible to predict how things will pan out in the months to come, it’s clear the [job market](https://www.ziprecruiter.com/Search-Jobs-Near-Me) heading into 2023 will look very different than it did in 2022. “There’s anxiety about what the future holds,” Berger says. For those worried about their prospects, career counselor Rich Feller advises those looking for new jobs in the coming year to seek out what experts call “micro-training” — quick courses focused on industry-specific skills — to get an edge in the job market. Think coding bootcamps or marketing certificates rather than bachelor’s degrees. “What skill can you learn quickly, efficiently and inexpensively?” Feller asks. ```json { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@graph": [ { "@type": "BreadcrumbList", "@id": "https://money.com/5-career-trends-in-2023/#breadcrumb", "itemListElement": [ { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 1, "name": "Home", "item": "https://money.com" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 2, "name": "Career Advice", "item": "https://money.com/career-advice/" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 3, "name": "Professional Development", "item": "https://money.com/professional-development/" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 4, "name": "5 Career Trends That Will Shake up the Workplace in 2023" } ] }, { "@type": "WebSite", "@id": "https://money.com/#website", "url": "https://money.com", "name": "Money", "publisher": { "@id": "https://money.com/#organization" } }, { "@type": "WebPage", "@id": "https://money.com/5-career-trends-in-2023/#webpage", "url": "https://money.com/5-career-trends-in-2023/", "name": "5 Career Trends That Will Shake up the Workplace in 2023", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://money.com/#website" }, "datePublished": "2022-12-28T16:44:18.000Z", "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://money.com/5-career-trends-in-2023/" }, "inLanguage": "en-US", "breadcrumb": { "@id": "https://money.com/5-career-trends-in-2023/#breadcrumb" }, "dateModified": "2024-02-05T18:07:53.000Z" }, { "@type": "Article", "headline": "5 Career Trends That Will Shake up the Workplace in 2023", "articleSection": "Career Advice", "image": [ { "@type": "ImageObject", "url": "https://img.money.com/2022/12/Zip-Recruiter-Career-Trends-2023.jpg", "width": 2880, "height": 1920, "caption": "Zip-Recruiter-Career-Trends-2023" } ], "author": [ { "@type": "Person", "name": "Sarah Hansen", "url": "https://money.com/author/sarah-hansen/", "@id": "https://money.com/author/sarah-hansen/#author", "description": "Sarah Hansen is a senior writer at Money covering all things personal finance.
