Quest Diagnostics Net Job Decline

Quest Diagnostics posted 243 new job openings on Sept. 10, 2026, with a focus on phlebotomy, laboratory science, and medical courier roles. Openings span numerous locations across the United States, including Texas, California, New York, and Florida, reflecting ongoing staffing needs in clinical testing and specimen logistics.

At the same time, the company removed 351 postings, resulting in a net decrease in active jobs. The shift suggests strategic realignment rather than a uniform hiring pause, with strength in core lab and field roles while winding down postings in select markets.

For candidates, the data imply opportunities in core phlebotomy and lab support positions in regions with active postings, alongside remote or part-time roles. Quest Diagnostics notes it continually reviews its staffing and rebalances roles to align with demand and service needs.
