Tired of hearing nothing but bad news about jobs? Some companies are still growing—and even looking for people like you.
A slowing job market doesn’t mean every business is pulling back. Some companies are doubling down, expanding hiring, building new facilities, or investing in long-term growth. If you’ve seen headlines about layoffs, but still want hope and action, this list shows who’s still moving forward. These companies are not just surviving; they’re playing offense.
We’re talking about firms growing in logistics, finance, healthcare, tech infrastructure, and shipping. Their moves are strategic, fueled by rising demand, global competition, or government incentives. If you’re looking for places where the job market isn’t shrinking, these are the areas to follow.
Watco
Watco, a rail and transportation logistics company that operates 45 short lines, has secured a minority investment of over $600M from Duration Capital Partners to expand North American rail operations.
The funding will support long-term strategic initiatives, including Watco’s complete acquisition of Industrial Rail Services, which operates at six Dow Chemical facilities across the U.S. and Canada.
JPMorgan
Banks like JPMorgan, Citigroup, and UBS are aggressively hiring senior bankers again as deal-making rebounds. Reuters shows that JPMorgan alone added over 300 bankers between January and April, and even boutique players like Evercore are expanding amid renewed M&A activity.
Amazon
Amazon announced a $4 billion effort to expand its rural delivery network through 2026. This upgrade will triple its rural delivery footprint and create around 100,000 new jobs across the country, according to Reuters.
CMA CGM
The French shipping company CMA CGM pledged a $20 billion U.S. investment to build ship, port, and air cargo infrastructure, creating roughly 10,000 American jobs, according to The Wall Street Journal.
Global Medical Virtual Assistants (GMVA)
CT Insider reports that GMVA, a healthcare admin outsourcing firm, is one of Connecticut’s fastest-growing private companies. Today, GMVA’s client base encompasses more than 400 medical facilities across the U.S.
The company produced about $16 million in revenues from its contracts with those establishments in 2024, and it is projecting about $30 million in revenues for 2025. Between 2021 and 2024, its revenues rocketed 1,086%, according to data from Inc.
Medtronic
Healthcare technology continues to boom in 2025, especially around AI, digital health, and telemedicine. Health care roles account for six of the top 25 jobs for 2025, according to Indeed. Hospitals and platforms are hiring at levels that surpass those of most other industries.
According to Mississippi State University, industries such as Telehealth, Long-Term Care, Fitness, and Mental Health are expected to be at the forefront of healthcare recruitment in 2025, and Medtronic is one of the world’s largest medical device companies, with operational headquarters in the U.S.

Logistics and transportation tell a positive story; Data indicate that a substantial 35% of organizations within these sectors expect to expand their workforce between July and September, far above most others, and Cargo One is one of the many companies that are still growing despite the friction. On the other hand, 58% plan to keep their current staffing levels intact, while only 7% foresee job cuts, according to Transportation and News Trends.
DHL
While many industries are pulling back, contract supply chain services like DHL are expanding as companies look for ways to cut costs and remain flexible. Instead of managing warehouses, trucking, and logistics in-house, businesses are outsourcing to specialized providers who can deliver at scale.
Prologis
Prologis, an industrial real estate giant that owns logistics buildings, is increasing capacity nationwide. With over 6,000 properties across 1.3 billion square feet, it’s fueling warehouse growth near urban centers.
GXO Logistics
GXO, a leader in contract logistics, continues to build out its warehousing and reverse logistics capabilities. Their large-scale logistics operations are expanding in response to growing e-commerce demand.
