About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

While Arts, Entertainment, and Recreation (AER) is adding jobs and expanding openings, Accommodation and Food Services (A&FS) is slowing after a strong May hiring period.

Overall, the sector remains more active than a year ago, with continued demand for workers and ongoing voluntary turnover.

Job openings

In June 2025, openings in AER increased sharply from May, while openings in A&FS dropped after a seasonal hiring peak. The overall leisure and hospitality sector remains above June 2024 levels despite the slowdown.

AER's openings climbed by 44,000 in June, showing growing demand for talent, while A&FS openings fell by 308,000, slightly below last year's level, indicating a return to normal hiring after a seasonal surge.

Hiring activity

Hiring followed a similar pattern. Overall, leisure and hospitality hires remain above June 2024 levels, even though June 2025 saw a slight decline from May.

The data show that even with fewer hires than in May, employers in both subsectors are still actively filling positions. AER hiring remains robust, reflecting expansion in the sector, while A&FS hiring is still elevated compared with last year despite the month-over-month pullback.

Turnover

Voluntary quits remain the largest driver of separations in hospitality. Most workers are leaving by choice rather than being laid off, signaling ongoing competition for talent across the industry.

This table underscores that voluntary quits account for about 81% of total separations in June 2025. Employers in both subsectors should focus on retention strategies, such as predictable scheduling and advancement opportunities, while continuing to recruit for hard-to-fill roles.

The June 2025 data highlight a split in the leisure and hospitality labor market. Arts and Entertainment is expanding its job openings, while food service is normalizing after a seasonal peak.

Despite the slowdown in A&FS openings, overall hiring and separations remain higher than in June 2024, reflecting strong ongoing labor demand and continued worker mobility. Employers can use these insights to plan recruitment and retention strategies as the summer season progresses.
