  This was a very large occupation in the United States, employing 1,235,100 workers in 2021.

Growth Average growth
  Rising student enrollment along with state and federal funding for education programs should affect growth. Teacher assistants are more of a supplementary position, as opposed to teachers, who hold a primary position. Therefore, teacher assistants' employment opportunities may depend on school districts' budgets. Schools are more likely to eliminate teacher assistant positions rather than teacher positions when there is a budget shortfall, and more likely to hire teacher assistants when there is a budget surplus.
