Here's a good article on how all itemized deductions will change for 2018 with the new tax bill. It looks like all 2% miscellaneous deductions will be gone starting in 2018; i.e., no employee job expenses, no employee job search expense, etc.

This thread is a year old and more info is available now. While
there are no longer employee job expenses deduction on a Federal
Schedule A, there are a few states which may still allow such expenses subject to
the 2% rule on the state return. If you are in one of those states, then filling out that section in the Federal interview (Form 2106) should be ignored by the Form 1040, but still flow to a Miscellaneous Itemized Deductions Worksheet that the state return may still be able to use for such expenses. And also any of the other miscellaneous itemized deductions subject to 2% for which you can find entry. Here are the known states we were recently made aware of from TurboTax. I don't know if there are others or not.
Arkansas, California, Hawaii, Iowa, Minnesota and New York
