National Employment and Outlook

Outlook increasing
  The employment change from 2022 to 2032 is estimated to be +9%.
(The National average for all occupations is +3%)
Job Openings very small number
  A total of 4740 average annual openings are expected for this occupation between 2022 and 2032.
(The National Average for all occupations is 1,670 openings)
Employment large occupation
  This was a large occupation in the United States, employing 415,100 workers in 2022.
(The National average for all occupations is 147,916 workers)
Growth Much faster than average growth
  An increase in the number of older adults is expected to result in growing demand for the social services they use, including home-delivered meals and community center activities. Because social and human service assistants often arrange and provide these services, more of these workers will be needed to meet the increased demand. In addition, employment growth is expected as more people with substance use disorders enroll in treatment programs rather than being sent to jail. As a result, demand should increase for social and human service assistants who work in treatment programs or who work with people with addictions.
