What our analysts see this month

Competitive market | next 3-6 months

Dallas-Fort Worth is still a very large market for this work: office and administrative support accounted for 12.1% of metro employment in May 2025, and the metro had about 490,190 workers in the occupation group. But the near-term market looks tougher than the size suggests, because metro unemployment reached 4.4% in August 2026 while Texas administrative and office-support postings were down 18.6% year over year and statewide employment in the occupation was down 0.7%. You can still land a role here, especially in on-site, customer-facing environments, but expect more competition and slower response rates than a year ago.

Best positioned: The strongest profile right now is someone open to on-site work who can show recent customer service, data entry, computer literacy, and Microsoft Office experience for restaurant, healthcare, hospitality, and retail employers.

Main caution: The biggest misconception is that this is a remote-friendly admin market; about 95% of sampled postings were on-site and only about 5% were remote.

Where the demand is

Real opportunity is concentrated less in pure headquarters admin jobs and more in embedded support roles inside service-heavy employers. In the local sample, the biggest posting mix sits in restaurants (about 30%), healthcare (about 15%), hospitality (about 15%), retail (about 10%), and hospitals and health care (about 10%). Domino's Inc. appears as the most consistently active named employer with more than 250 sampled postings, but the broader market is fragmented across employers rather than dominated by a single brand. That concentration matters because these employers often want admin work blended with customer-facing tasks. The most-requested skills in sampled postings include customer service and cash handling at about 20% each, plus data entry, inventory management, and computer literacy at about 15% each. If your resume reads like general office help with no front-desk, phone, scheduling, or transaction-volume context, it will miss where the real volume sits. It is also an on-site, early-career-heavy market. About 95% of sampled postings are on-site, about 5% hybrid, and about 5% remote, while about 75% are entry level and about 25% are mid-level. That makes Dallas-Fort Worth better for people willing to work at a site, cover shifts, and support multi-location operations than for candidates searching only for remote assistant jobs.

• Multi-site service operators (high): Restaurants, hospitality, and retail account for a large share of sampled demand, and employers often want customer-facing admin support rather than purely back-office help.
• Healthcare front office (moderate): Healthcare and hospitals contribute about a quarter of sampled postings combined, but the best-fit roles here are front desk, scheduling, and general office support rather than the medical-records or billing work routed to another category.
• Office coordination inside professional and business services (moderate): Dallas-Fort Worth professional and business services employment was 810.6 thousand in August 2026, up 3.1429% year over year, so office-heavy employers remain a useful target even though admin openings are not the easiest slice of that growth.

Where to focus: Prioritize on-site roles at multi-site service employers and front-office healthcare sites, then use those wins to move toward better-paid coordination or management-adjacent roles.

Roles worth searching next

• Project coordinator: Robert Half describes project coordinator as a common next step out of administrative assistant work.
• Operations support coordinator: Robert Half also points to operations support as a realistic progression path for administrative talent.
• Administrative services manager: Dallas-Fort Worth had about 6,160 administrative services managers in May 2025, showing a real local step-up path beyond general administrative work.

What postings ask for

• Customer service (table_stakes | immediate): Customer service shows up in about 20% of sampled postings, and the local mix is tilted toward restaurants, hospitality, retail, and front-office healthcare work. Who: Entry-level candidates, returners, and career switchers from retail, food service, hospitality, or call-center work.
• Data entry (table_stakes | immediate): Data entry appears in about 15% of sampled postings and is one of the clearest signals that you can handle transactional office work accurately. Who: Anyone applying to receptionist, coordinator, office clerk, dispatcher, or admin assistant roles.
• Microsoft Office and computer literacy (differentiator | immediate): Computer literacy shows up in about 15% of sampled postings and Microsoft Office in about 10%, so basic proficiency is expected and stronger fluency helps you stand out. Who: Entry-level candidates with thin office experience and mid-career applicants who need to prove current software readiness.
• Workflow automation (premium | near-term): Robert Half identifies workflow automation as a specialized administrative skill, and 83% of administrative leaders say they typically offer higher starting salaries to candidates with specialized skills. Who: Mid-career admins and office coordinators who want to move above commodity generalist roles.
• Project coordination (premium | near-term): Project coordination is one of the specialized skills Robert Half flags as valuable in administrative hiring, and it also opens a cleaner path into adjacent roles. Who: Mid-career applicants, executive assistants, and career switchers with scheduling or stakeholder-management experience.
• Executive support (differentiator | near-term): Robert Half lists executive support among the higher-value administrative skill areas, which helps separate advanced assistants from general office applicants. Who: Experienced admins who already manage calendars, travel, meetings, or confidential communication.
