According to Goldman Sachs estimates, the 2026 World Cup will add 40,000 new jobs to the United States in June, driven by hiring in the hotel, retail, and transportation industries. As large numbers of fans travel to the host cities, the bank predicts that retail sales, GDP growth, and inflation levels will also see a slight increase. However, most of the growth effects are expected to gradually decline in the following months after temporary jobs related to the event and consumer enthusiasm fade.
