What our analysts see this month

Competitive market | next 3-6 months

Philadelphia is still a viable admin market, but it is harder to win offers than the raw size of the occupation suggests. The metro had 320,580 office and administrative support jobs in May 2025, and metro unemployment was 4.2% in July 2026 with total employment up 2.1534% year over year. At the same time, Pennsylvania postings for administrative and office support were down 14.3% year over year in August 2026 while employment in the occupation was essentially flat, which points to slower hiring rather than a disappearing field. Local demand is broad enough to search against, with more than 650 sampled postings across more than 400 companies over the last 90 days, but most openings are entry-level and on-site.

Best positioned: Candidates with recent in-office admin or front-desk experience, solid Microsoft Office, data entry, and customer service skills, and willingness to work on-site have the best odds right now.

Main caution: Do not anchor on the headline pay from executive-assistant ads or assume remote work is normal; about 90% of sampled local openings were on-site, and the highest hourly examples were specialized contract roles.

Where the demand is

The biggest volume is not in one glamorous office tower. In the local posting sample, healthcare accounted for about 35% of admin openings, followed by restaurants at about 15%, retail at about 10%, hospitals and health care at about 10%, and education at about 10%. That mix tells you many openings are tied to front desk, scheduling, intake, and site-level coordination rather than classic executive-assistant work. Hiring is also spread across a long tail of employers rather than dominated by a few brands: the sample captured more than 650 postings across more than 400 companies, and concentration was fragmented. Named high-activity employers included Dominos and Planet Fitness, Inc., while individual recent openings also appeared at Comcast, ZS, the Philadelphia Energy Authority, Temple Health, and Menzies Aviation. Because about 75% of sampled openings are entry-level and about 90% are on-site, the easiest path is usually a customer-facing or coordinator role with faster turnover, then moving up internally.

• Healthcare and hospital support (high): This is the clearest local volume pocket; healthcare and hospitals together make up roughly 45% of sampled admin postings, and local roundups included Temple Health openings.
• Multi-site consumer operators (moderate): Restaurants and retail together account for about 25% of the sample, which fits employers like Dominos and Planet Fitness, Inc. that regularly need site-level admin, scheduling, and service support.
• Executive and professional-services support (moderate): Smaller in count but better paid; Comcast, ZS, and nonprofit-focused executive assistant contracts show this lane, with some roles paying up to $28 to $30 an hour and some hybrid schedules.

Where to focus: If you need interviews quickly, spend most of your effort on healthcare and hospital front-office or coordinator roles, then keep a smaller second lane for executive-support openings.

Roles worth searching next

• Patient service representative or medical receptionist: It uses the same scheduling, intake, customer service, and front-desk strengths, and healthcare is the biggest local hiring pocket for admin-type work.
• Payroll, billing, or accounts-payable coordinator: The jump is natural for strong data-entry and Excel users who want more process-heavy work than general admin provides.
• HR coordinator or recruiting coordinator: Calendar management, documentation, candidate or employee communication, and intake all transfer well from office support work.
• Inventory, shipping, or site-operations coordinator: Some local postings already blend office support with inventory management, and local roundup coverage included an airport-operations support opening at Menzies Aviation.

What postings ask for

• Microsoft Office, Word, and Excel (table_stakes | immediate): Office software proficiency is core to the occupation nationally, and local postings repeatedly call for Microsoft Office, Word, and Excel. Who: Everyone in this market, especially entry-level and career-switching candidates.
• Data entry accuracy (table_stakes | immediate): Data entry is one of the most-requested hard skills in the local posting sample, which makes it a basic screening skill for a wide share of openings. Who: Entry-level candidates, career switchers, and anyone targeting coordinator or clerk roles.
• Customer service and front-desk intake (table_stakes | immediate): Customer service is a common local requirement, and the biggest local hiring pockets are healthcare, restaurants, retail, and education, where in-person intake and service handling matter. Who: Anyone coming from retail, hospitality, call center, or patient-facing work.
• Scheduling, document preparation, and meeting coordination (differentiator | immediate): BLS describes scheduling and document preparation as core admin skills, and these become more valuable as you move from generic office support into executive support. Who: Candidates with at least some office experience who want to move up-market.
• Medical terminology (differentiator | immediate): Medical terminology appears in a slice of local postings, and healthcare is the largest local demand pocket, so this can help you win patient-facing office roles without moving into medical records or billing. Who: Entry-level candidates and switchers targeting clinics, hospitals, and patient-access settings.
• Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS) (differentiator | near-term): The MOS credential gives concrete proof of up-to-date Office skills, and as of June 30, 2026 it uses Microsoft 365 or Office 2019/2021 rather than the retired Office 2016 exams. Who: Entry-level candidates and career switchers who need a credibility boost.
