A lot of big employers are slashing jobs, but these companies — from Chipotle to United Airlines — are still hiring

The fast-casual chain is beefing up hiring ahead of its busiest months, March to May, a period the company calls "burrito season."

Chipotle is hiring 15,000 workers to support its "aggressive growth plans" as it looks to double its footprint to 7,000 stores in North America, according to Chief Restaurant Officer Scott Boatwright.

Boeing plans to cut some support jobs this year, but the planemaker will also hire 10,000 workers in 2023 as it aims to increase deliveries of its 737 MAX aircraft and its 787 jetliner.

Amid an ongoing, industrywide pilot shortage, United Airlines plans to hire 2,500 pilots in 2023, slightly more than it hired last year. The move is part of the carrier's plan to bring on at least 10,000 pilots by the end of the decade.

Airbus is recruiting for 13,000 jobs this year after meeting a similar target last year. Roughly one-quarter of the new jobs will be in areas like decarbonization, digital transformation, software engineering, and cyber technology. The company will try to fill one-third of the new roles with young graduates.

Airbus is looking for staff with experience in digital and cyber technologies, such as cyber security, robotics, software engineering, and cloud computing; engineering and manufacturing engineering, including new energies, hydrogen, and aircraft design; customer services, such as customer engineering, material support/services, and maintenance; supply chain management; and/or industrial operations, which includes jobs for metal workers, painters, and electricians.

Throughout 2023, Alaska Airlines plans to hire 3,500 new employees. The company says the recruitment breakdown will be roughly as follows: 550 pilots; 1,000 flight attendants; 1,000 customer service agents; 100 ramp service agents; 240 contact center agents; 135 maintenance technicians; and 500 employees in management.

Most of the job openings will be based out of the airline's Seattle and Portland hubs, as well as other locations along the West Coast.

As other media and finance companies cut jobs, Bloomberg LP is doing the opposite, with plans to hire 1,000 employees this year. Many of the hires will be for data, product, and engineering roles, while others will fill roles elsewhere in the company, including at Bloomberg News.

Moderna, the Cambridge, Mass.-based pharmaceutical and biotechnology company, became particularly well-known in the pandemic as one of the makers of the COVID-19 vaccine. 

Over the course of this year, the company plans to hire 2,000 new employees, Moderna's chief executive Stéphane Bancel reportedly said at the J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference in January, according to the Boston Globe. The new hires will increase the company's total headcount to around 6,000 employees, the Globe reported. 

The jobs will likely be based in the Greater Boston area, WCVB reported citing a spokesperson for Moderna. 

Palantir Technologies plans to add a few hundred employees to its staff of 3,500 in 2023, Reuters reported, citing comments that company's CEO Alex Karp made on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos that took place in January. 

When asked at Davos about potential job cuts at Palantir, Karp noted that Palantir was doing well in the US, UK, and Canada, and evaluating spend in its slower markets according to Reuters. 

However, Karp reportedly also said, "Things could get much, much worse, and then of course everything's on the table," Reuters reported. 

Just weeks into the new year, major crypto companies like Coinbase, Genesis, and Crypto.com have announced layoffs, in what seems to be a long, cold, winter for the cryptocurrency industry. 

Still, Binance — the cryptocurrency exchange that played a key role in the downfall of FTX — has plans to grow its workforce in 2023. At the Crypto Finance Conference in St. Moritz Switzerland, the company's CEO Changpeng Zhao reportedly said the company is at least planning to increase its workforce by 15%-30%, according to Binance News.

Zhao reportedly also said, "We will continue to build and hopefully we will ramp up again before the next bull market."

On January 31, President Biden announced funding news for an early phase of the Hudson Tunnel Project. 

A press release from the White House states that the Hudson Tunnel Project is an over $16 billion investment that will "improve resilience, reliability, and redundancy" for the New Jersey Transit and Amtrak train service between New York and New Jersey. 

Amtrak expects that the Hudson Tunnel Project "will result in 72,000 direct and indirect jobs during construction with union partnerships for job training," according to the White House press release.
