The 2026 Tech Workforce
Intelligence Report

The technology labor market is undergoing structural transformation. An analysis of data from Lightcast®, the global leader in labor market intelligence, spanning April 2018 to April 2026 across 43 technology occupations, reveals that some roles have grown dramatically, while others have declined by more than half. And beneath those surface-level demand shifts, a separate but equally urgent story is playing out: the skills employers require within roles are shifting just as fast.
