Source: BLS Employment Projections, 2025 to 2035. A projection is a BLS estimate, not a count. The 16,000 jobs here differ from the 15,560 on the salary page because Employment Projections also counts the self-employed and a wider set of workers, while OEWS counts wage and salary jobs in May 2025. BLS published these projections on August 27, 2026; checked November 10, 2026. Confirm any figure in the BLS Employment Projections tables.
BLS's reasons for this projection are at the Occupational Outlook Handbook. State projections are at Projections Central; projections by industry are left to BLS. Education, licensing and work context at O*NET.
How many job openings are there each year?
About 4,000 openings a year, from job growth and from workers leaving the occupation, the 421st most of 830 occupations. About 98% of them replace workers who change occupations or leave the labor force; the rest come from the 100 jobs added in an average year.
