Occupational employment
projections to 2014
Employment in professional and related occupations
and in service occupations is expected to increase
the fastest of all occupations and add the most jobs
from 2004 to 2014; office and administrative support occupations
are projected to grow about half as fast as all occupations,
and production occupations should decline slightly

T
otal employment is projected to increase by 18.9 million jobs over the
2004–14 period, reaching 164.5 million,
according to the latest projections of the
Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS, the Bureau).1
This increase represents about 2.6 million
more jobs than were added over the previous
10-year period (1994–2004). The projected 13percent increase from 2004 to 2014 is slightly
higher than the 12.7-percent increase during
the earlier period. Self-employment is projected to increase 2.8 percent, from 12.0 million
to 12.3 million.2
This article discusses a number of aspects of
the BLS projections, along with related information:
• changes in the structure of employment

at the major occupational group level;3
the detailed occupations4 that are projected to grow the fastest, as well as those
with the largest numerical increases and
decreases, along with their most significant source of postsecondary education or training and their earnings;
the total job openings projected to occur due to growth in the economy and

the net replacement needs resulting
from workers who permanently either
leave the labor force or transfer to other
occupations; and
employment and job openings by education attainment cluster.
In what follows, projected employment is
analyzed from two perspectives—percent
change and numeric change—because one
can be large and the other small, depending
on the size of employment in the base year.
The following example using data for two
occupations generally requiring the same
level of education—a bachelor’s degree—
illustrates the importance of viewing job
outlooks from both perspectives:
Employment of biomedical engineers is
projected to grow almost twice as fast as
employment of industrial engineers over the
2004–14 period: 30.7 percent, compared with
16 percent. However, because employment
was so much larger for industrial engineers
than for biomedical engineers in 2004—
177,000, as opposed to 10,000—the occupation of industrial engineers is projected to
add about 9 times more new jobs.
Major occupational groups
Among the 10 major occupational groups, employment in the
2 largest in 2004—professional and related occupations and
service occupations—is projected to increase the fastest and
add the most jobs from 2004 to 2014. (See table 1.) These
major groups, which are on opposite ends of the educational
attainment and earnings spectrum, are expected to provide
about 60 percent of the total job growth from 2004 to 2014.
Employment in management, business, and financial occupations is projected to grow a bit faster than overall employment
across all occupations. Employment in construction and
extraction; installation, maintenance, and repair; transportation and material moving; and sales and related occupations will grow somewhat more slowly than overall employment. Office and administrative support occupations are
projected to grow at only half the rate for the overall total,
while farming, fishing, and forestry occupations and production occupations are projected to decline slightly.
As a result of the different growth rates among the major
occupational groups, the occupational distribution of total
employment should change somewhat by the year 2014, as
will the ranking of some groups by employment size. (See
table 1.) Professional and related occupations will continue
to rank first, while farming, fishing, and forestry occupations
will continue to rank last. The category of sales occupations,
ranked fourth in 2004, is projected to drop to fifth place, while
management, business, and financial occupations should rise
from fifth to fourth place. The category of production occupations, ranked sixth in 2004, is projected to drop to seventh
place, while transportation and material moving occupations
should rise from seventh to sixth place. Professional and
related occupations and service occupations will significantly
increase their relative shares of employment, by 1.4 and 1.0
Table 1.
percentage points, respectively. By contrast, office and
administrative support occupations and production occupations should decrease their shares significantly, by 1.0 and
0.9 point, respectively.
The growth of occupational groups (and occupations) is
determined, in large part, by varying rates of growth in
industries in which they are concentrated. For example,
professional occupations are projected to grow the fastest,
chiefly because they are concentrated in some fast-growing
sectors, such as health care and social assistance as well as
professional, scientific, and technical services, while production occupations are projected to decline, mainly because
seven-tenths of employment in these occupations is in the
declining manufacturing sector.
Management, business, and financial occupations. The
number of jobs within this major occupational group is
projected to grow by 2.2 million from 2004 to 2014. Nearly 25
percent of all new jobs will be in the professional, scientific,
and technical services sector, which includes management,
scientific, and technical consulting; and accounting, tax
preparation, bookkeeping, and payroll services. About 30
percent of the new jobs will be in the three sectors of health
care and social assistance, finance and insurance, and government, approximately 10 percent in each sector. Selfemployment among management, business, and financial
workers accounted for one-fifth of the total in 2004 and is
projected to decline 1.2 percent. Overall projected growth in
the group will be moderated by the 155,000 decline in the
number of farmers and ranchers, most of whom are selfemployed. (See appendix.) Excluding farmers and ranchers,
this major group is projected to increase 16.6 percent. Selfemployment, excluding that among farmers and ranchers, is
projected to increase slowly, with most of the increase going

to two subgroups: accountants and auditors, and construction managers.
Professional and related occupations. Employment within
this group is projected to grow the fastest of all major groups
and to add more jobs (6.0 million) than any other major group.
Three-tenths of the growth in these occupations is projected
to take place in the health care and social assistance sector,
one-fifth in government, and one-seventh in professional,
scientific, and technical services. A 6.9-percent increase is
expected for self-employment in professional and related
occupations, with most of the growth projected in two
subgroups: arts, design, entertainment, sports, and media
occupations; and education, training, and library occupations.
Of the eight occupational subgroups within professional
and related occupations, three—health care practitioner and
technical occupations; education, training, and library
occupations; and computer and mathematical science
occupations—are expected to account for nearly 75 percent
of the new jobs, as shown in both the appendix and the
following tabulation:

Health care practitioner and technical occupations are
projected to add nearly 1.8 million jobs and grow twice as fast
as the average for all occupations. Registered nurses—by
far the largest occupation in the group—should account for
two-fifths of new jobs. More than 3 out of 4 new jobs in
health care practitioner and technical occupations should be
in the health care industry. Relatively few new jobs are
projected to open up in government. Self-employment in the
group is projected to increase slightly.
Education, training, and library occupations are projected
to grow faster than the average for all occupations, adding
more than 1.7 million jobs. Primary, secondary, and special
education teachers are projected to grow as (1) the schoolage population increases, (2) a greater proportion of preschool-age children attends school, (3) a greater proportion

of students is provided with special education, and (4) classes
become smaller. Postsecondary teachers are projected to
grow rapidly. More than half of the new education, training,
and library jobs are anticipated to arise in government and
nearly 3 in 10 in the rapidly growing private educational
services industry.
Computer and mathematical science occupations are
projected to add 967,000 jobs and grow the fastest among the
eight professional subgroups. The demand for computerrelated occupations should increase as organizations continue to adopt and integrate increasingly sophisticated and
complex technologies. Growth will not be as rapid as during
the previous decade, however, as the software industry begins to mature and as routine work is increasingly outsourced
overseas.5 Three out of 10 new jobs will be in computer systems design and related services, and one-sixth will be in the
information sector, primarily software publishers and dataprocessing and related industries. In both categories—computer systems design and information—growth is projected
to exceed 40 percent, equivalent to a rate more than 3 times
faster than the average for all occupations. In addition, in
most industries, employment of computer and mathematical
science workers is projected to grow a bit faster than the
average for all occupations. Self-employment among computer and mathematical science workers is expected to increase
15.6 percent, with most growth occurring among network
systems and data communications analysts.
Community and social services occupations are projected
to add 483,000 jobs. Continued faster-than-average growth
should result as the elderly population increases rapidly and
as greater efforts are made to provide services for the disabled, the sick, substance abusers, and individuals and families in crisis. Within this occupational group, nearly threefifths of new jobs should be in the health care and social
assistance sector and one-seventh in religious organizations.
Large numbers of jobs in community and social services are
in the government sector, and even though jobs in that sector
will be growing slowly, they will nevertheless account for
one-sixth of all new jobs.
Arts, design, entertainment, sports, and media occupations are projected to add 375,000 jobs. More than onefifth of these new jobs is expected to arise in professional,
scientific, and technical services, a category that includes
both advertising and computer systems design and related
services. An additional one-sixth of new jobs is projected to
arise in the information sector, which includes both the
motion picture and publishing industries. Self-employment,
which accounted for three-tenths of these jobs in 2004, is
expected to increase slowly.
Architecture and engineering occupations are projected
to add 315,000 jobs. Engineering, the largest occupation in
the group, is expected to add 195,000 jobs. About half of the
new jobs in these occupations are projected to arise in the
professional, scientific, and technical services sector. Oneeighth of new jobs is projected for government. The
manufacturing sector, which employed a third of these
workers in 2004, is anticipated to account for only one-twelfth
of new jobs.
Life, physical, and social science occupations are projected to add 216,000 jobs. More than three-tenths of the new
jobs in these occupations are expected to arise in the professional, scientific, and technical services sector, which includes scientific consulting services and scientific research
and development services. One-quarter of all new jobs is
projected to be in government, and an additional one-tenth is
projected for the rapidly growing health care and social
assistance sector. Self-employment is anticipated to grow
slowly, with most growth occurring among psychologists.
Legal occupations are projected to add 194,000 jobs.
Paralegals and legal assistants are expected to grow the
fastest, while lawyers should add the most jobs, 110,000.
About five-eighths of new jobs are projected for legal services, another quarter for government. The number of selfemployed in this group is expected to remain unchanged.
Service occupations. Employment in this group is
projected to increase by 5.3 million (19 percent), the secondlargest numerical gain and second-highest rate of growth
among the major occupational groups. More than threetenths of new jobs—and the fastest growth—are anticipated
to be in the health care and social assistance sector. Almost
another three-tenths of new jobs are expected for the accommodation and food services sector. Self-employment within
service occupations is projected to increase slowly.
Fifty-five percent of the new jobs in service occupations
are projected to be added in 2 of the occupation’s 5 subgroups: food preparation and serving related occupations
and health care support occupations, as shown in both the
appendix and the following tabulation:

Food preparation and serving related occupations are
projected to add about 1.7 million jobs and grow 16 percent,
a bit faster than the average for all occupations. Four-fifths
of new jobs are projected to arise in the accommodation and
food services sector.
Health care support occupations are projected to add 1.2
million jobs, growing the fastest among the service subgroups. Seven-eighths of new jobs are expected to be in the
health care and social assistance sector. Self-employment
within health care support occupations is projected to grow
12.7 percent, with most growth among massage therapists.
Personal care and service occupations are projected to
add 991,000 jobs. More than two-fifths of the new jobs, and
the fastest growth (45.2 percent), are anticipated to be in the
health care and social assistance sector. One-seventh of new
jobs is projected to be in the arts, entertainment, and recreation sector, which includes amusement parks and fitness
and recreational sports centers. Self-employment for personal
care and service occupations is expected to grow slowly,
with most increases taking place among hairdressers, hairstylists, and cosmetologists and among child care workers.
Building and grounds cleaning and maintenance occupations are projected to add 948,000 jobs. Two-fifths of new
jobs, and fast growth, are anticipated to be in the administrative and support and the waste management and remediation
services sector, which includes both services to buildings
and dwellings and employment services. About one-tenth of
the new jobs is projected to arise in each of three sectors:
accommodation and food services, health care and social
assistance, and government. About 7 percent of the workers
in building and grounds cleaning and maintenance occupations were in private households, but the number of jobs
in the private household industry is projected to decline by
27,000. Self-employment in building and grounds cleaning
and maintenance occupations is expected to grow slowly,
with most new jobs arising among landscaping and groundskeeping workers, as well as janitors and cleaners, except
maids and housekeeping cleaners.
Protective service occupations are projected to add
440,000 jobs. Nearly three-fifths of the new jobs are anticipated to be in government and one-third in the rapidly
growing investigation and security services industry.
Sales and related occupations. Employment in these
occupations is projected to increase by 1.5 million. Threefifths of new jobs are expected to arise in retail trade and more
than one-tenth in wholesale trade. Self-employment in sales
and related occupations is projected to decline slightly.
Office and administrative support occupations. Employment in this group of occupations is projected to increase
by 1.4 million, which actually represents a slow rate of growth.
Customer service representatives; office clerks, general; and
receptionists and information clerks are anticipated to grow
the most. However, 13 of the 30 occupations with the largest
expected job declines, including word processors and
typists; stock clerks and order fillers; and secretaries, except

legal, medical, and executive, are in this group. Almost onethird of new jobs is projected to be in the health care and
social assistance sector. One-quarter is anticipated in the
professional, scientific, and technical services sector, and
another quarter is expected in the rapidly growing employment services industry, which provides temporary employees
to other industries on a contract or fee basis. Employment of
office and administrative support occupations should grow
a bit more slowly than overall employment in almost all
industries, due to both continued office automation, including that related to electronic business,6 and the greater use
that organizations make of temporary workers employed by
the employment services industry.
Transportation and material moving occupations.
Employment in these occupations is projected to grow by 1.1
million. Two-fifths of new jobs should be for truck drivers
and driver/sales workers. Water transportation occupations
are expected to grow slowly, while railroad occupations
continue a long-term decline. Three-tenths of new jobs
should be in transportation and warehousing, a quarter in
employment services. A decline is projected for transportation
and material moving workers in manufacturing, where oneseventh of their numbers was employed in 2004. Selfemployment for transportation workers is expected to grow
moderately, with most new jobs for truck drivers and for taxi
drivers and chauffeurs.
Construction and extraction occupations. Employment in
this major group is projected to grow by 931,000 jobs, with
three-fifths of new jobs opening up in the construction sector.
One-eighth of new jobs—and the fastest growth—is expected to be in the employment services industry. A decline
of 12,000 jobs is anticipated for the mining sector, mostly
among extraction workers. Self-employment among construction and extraction workers is projected to increase
slowly. Self-employed carpenters and painters performing
construction and maintenance are expected to have the
largest increases.
Detailed occupations
Installation, maintenance, and repair occupations.
Employment in this group is projected to increase by 657,000
jobs. About one-sixth of new jobs is expected to be in retail
trade, which includes motor vehicle and parts dealers. Oneseventh of the new jobs is anticipated to arise in automotive
repair and maintenance and one-eighth in the construction
sector. The manufacturing sector is expected to decline by
17,000. Self-employment in this group is projected to grow
slightly.
Farming, fishing, and forestry occupations. Employment
in these occupations is projected to decline by 13,000 jobs,
with self-employment accounting for 8.1 percent of the drop.
(Agricultural managers, including farmers and ranchers, are
classified with management, business, and financial occupations.)
Production occupations. This group is expected to lose
79,000 jobs. Manufacturing, which accounted for 70 percent
of production jobs in 2004, is projected to lose more than half
a million of these jobs. However, employment is projected to
grow by nearly a quarter of a million in the employment
services industry, which provides employees to other industries on a contract or fee basis, and by 93,000 in the wholesale
and retail trade sector.

Monthly Labor Review
November 2005
This section focuses on occupations that are the fastest
growing, have the largest numeric increases, or have the
largest numeric declines. Data on numeric changes and
percent changes for about 750 detailed occupations are
presented in the appendix.
The 2004–14 projected growth rates for detailed occupations range from an increase of 56 percent for home health
aides to a decline of 56 percent for textile knitting and weaving
machine setters, operators, and tenders. Numeric growth
ranges from 736,000 additional jobs for retail salespersons to
a loss of 155,000 farmers and ranchers. The 30 occupations
that are projected to be the fastest growing (see table 2) have
growth rates of 30 percent or greater, at least twice the average
for all occupations. Six occupations—three health related,
two computer occupations, and one in the category of
education—are included in both groups: personal and home
care aides; medical assistants; home health aides; computer
software engineers, applications; computer systems analysts; and postsecondary teachers. The 30 occupations with
the largest expected numeric increase (see table 3) account
for 47 percent of the 18.9 million total job increase projected
over the 2004–14 period.
Fastest-growing occupations. Sixteen of the 30 fastestgrowing occupations are health related, including 13 in health
care and 3 in other occupation groups. (See table 2.) Of the
non-health-related occupations, 6 are computer specialist
occupations, 3 are environment related, and 2 are in teaching.
The remaining ones are forensic science technicians; employment, recruitment, and placement specialists; and paralegals
and legal assistants.
Rapid growth among health-related occupations reflects
an aging population that requires more health care, a wealthier
population that can afford better health care, and advances
in medical technology that permit more health problems to be

treated more aggressively. However, job growth among
health-related occupations will be limited by efforts on the
part of both private medical insurers and government to
control the rapid increase in spending on health care, including restricting the growth of Medicare and Medicaid
reimbursements. Even so, continued efforts to control health
care costs should stimulate some of the fastest-growing
health-related occupations—mostly technicians, aides, and
assistants—to grow even more rapidly than overall health
employment. Workers in these occupations will assume some
duties formerly performed by more highly paid health care
workers, such as dentists, physicians, and therapists. Health
technicians, aides, and assistants expected to grow rapidly
include medical assistants, physician assistants, dental
hygienists, dental assistants, physical therapist assistants
and aides, and occupational therapist assistants. Some

An occupation is placed into 1 of 11 categories that best describes the
postsecondary education or training needed by most workers to become fully
qualified in that occupation. For more information about the categories, see Occupational Projections and Training Data, 2004–05 edition, Bulletin 2572 (Bureau of Labor
Statistics, March 2004) and Occupational Projections and Training Data, 2006–07
edition, Bulletin 2602 (Bureau of Labor Statistics, forthcoming).
health care occupations will grow more rapidly than overall
health care employment because they are more likely to
provide services to the rapidly growing older population.
Among these occupations are physical therapist assistants
and aides and occupational therapist assistants, as well as
physical therapists, occupational therapists, diagnostic
medical sonographers, and cardiovascular technicians and
technologists.
Employment of home health aides—the occupation
projected to grow the fastest—and of personal and home
care aides, classified as a personal service occupation, should
grow very rapidly as the elderly population expands and as
efforts to contain health care costs continue. The emphasis
on less costly home care and outpatient treatment of elderly
persons, rather than expensive institutional care, will lead to
growing numbers of aides to provide in-home health care, as

well as personal care and housekeeping assistance. In
addition, patients of all ages are being sent home from
hospitals and nursing facilities as quickly as possible, and
many of those discharged need continued health care and
personal care at home.
Employment of veterinary technologists and technicians,
classified as a health care occupation, is projected to grow
rapidly as pet owners spend more on advanced animal care
services, such as preventive dental care and surgical procedures, and as employers replace veterinary assistants with
these more highly skilled workers. Employment of medical
scientists, except epidemiologists, is expected to grow rapidly
due to expanded research and development in gene therapy,
as well as in treatments for AIDS, cancer, and Alzheimer’s
disease. Biomedical engineers’ employment should grow as
an aging population and concern for cost efficiency increase
the demand for improved medical devices and equipment.
Employment of computer specialists, including the six
occupations listed in table 2, is expected to grow very rapidly
as organizations continue to adopt and integrate increasingly
sophisticated and complex technologies—in networking, to
facilitate the sharing of information; in the expansion of clientserver environments; in “cybersecurity”; and in electronic
commerce applications. Falling prices of computer hardware
and software also should encourage the expansion of computer operations. Two computer-related occupations that are
among the fastest-growing ones are among those occupations with the largest projected numerical job growth as
well.
Employment of environmental engineers, hydrologists,
and hazardous material removal workers will grow in response
to an increasing need to comply with environmental regulations, to develop methods of cleaning up existing hazards,
and, more generally, to respond to increasing public concern
over a safe and clean environment. Hydrologists will deal
particularly with ground-water contamination and flood
control and with developing strategies to protect and restore
terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Employment of hazardous
material removal workers will grow as the need for asbestos
and lead abatement continues and as pressures increase for
safer and cleaner power-generating facilities.
Employment of postsecondary teachers is projected to
grow as the population of 18- to 24-year-olds increases, as a
larger proportion of high school graduates attends college,
and as more adults return to college to enhance their career
prospects or update their skills. A significant proportion of
new postsecondary teaching jobs will be part time, as
institutions seek flexibility in dealing with financial matters
and changing student interests. Employment of preschool
teachers, except special education, should grow as the
proportion of preschool-age children attending school
increases.

Legislation and court rulings setting standards in occupational safety and health, equal employment opportunity,
wages, health care, pensions, and family leave will increase
demand for employment, recruitment, and placement specialists. Employment of paralegals and legal assistants also is
projected to grow rapidly as employers try to reduce costs
and increase the availability and efficiency of legal services
by hiring paralegals to perform some routine tasks formerly
carried out by lawyers.
Twenty-four of the 30 fastest-growing occupations are
among those for which the most significant source of
postsecondary education or training is a vocational award or
an academic degree.7 The fastest-growing major occupational
group, professional and related occupations, is made up
mostly of occupations that generally require postsecondary
education or training. Seventeen of the fastest-growing occupations are concentrated in the highest earnings quartile,
and six are in the second-highest earnings quartile.
Occupations with the largest job growth. The 30
occupations with the largest job growth account for 8.8 million
new jobs, or 47 percent of total job growth. (See table 3.)
These 30 occupations are from a much broader range of
occupational groups than are the 30 fastest-growing occupations. Eleven are service occupations—3 health care support,
3 food preparation and serving related, 3 building and grounds
cleaning and maintenance services, and 2 personal care and
service. Four are office and administrative support occupations, 3 are in teaching, and 3 are transportation and material
moving occupations, including the two truck-driving occupations. Two are management, business, and financial occupations, 2 are computer occupations, and 2 are sales and related
occupations. The other 3 are the health care practitioner and
technical occupation and the two major occupational groups
of construction and extraction; and installation, maintenance,
and repair.
Among sales occupations, that of retail salespersons, the
largest occupation in 2004, is projected to have the most new
jobs, 736,000, while the occupation of sales representatives,
wholesale and manufacturing, except technical and scientific
products, is expected to have 187,000. In health care, the
category of registered nurses, the largest health care occupation in 2004, is projected to have 703,000 new jobs, home
health aides 350,000, nursing aides, orderlies, and attendants
325,000, and medical assistants 202,000. In education,
postsecondary teachers should be the beneficiaries of
524,000 new jobs, compared with 265,000 for elementary
school teachers, except special education, and 183,000 for
teacher assistants.
Among office and administrative support occupations,
the category of customer service representatives is projected
to have 471,000 openings; office clerks, general, 263,000;

are projected to have 308,000 and 264,000 new jobs, respectively.
The transportation and material moving occupations
include the category of laborers and freight, stock, and
material movers, hand, projected to have 248,000 new jobs,
and the 2 truck-driver occupations, with 223,000 and 164,000.

tenance and repair workers, general, with 202,000 new jobs,
and carpenters, with 186,000.
Half of the 30 occupations with the largest numerical job
growth have short-term on-the-job training as their most
significant source of postsecondary education or training,
while 8 have a postsecondary vocational award or academic
degree. Of those with the largest numeric increases, 11 are in
the lowest, and 7 are in the next-to-lowest, earnings quartile.
Declining occupations. This section focuses on just those
occupations with the largest numerical job declines, because
many detailed occupations with the fastest rates of decline
are small, with very small employment declines. (See table 4.)
The 30 occupations with the largest declines are projected to
account for about 1.1 million job losses, 79 percent of the 1.4
million job losses projected among all occupations. Thirteen
of the occupations with the largest declines are in the office
and administrative support group, 10 fall into the production
group, 3 are sales and related occupations, 2 are agricultural,
and 2 are in transportation and material moving. Changes in
technology or business practices will reduce the demand for
most of the 30 occupations.
Farmers and ranchers should see a decline of 155,000 in
their numbers, as market pressures and improved farm
technology result in the consolidation of farms into fewer
and larger units. Both farm consolidations and advances in
agricultural technology should lead to 16,000 fewer workers
in the category titled “farmworkers and laborers, crop,
nursery, and greenhouse.”
Advances in computer, optical-scanning, and voice recognition technologies and growth in electronic business will
reduce demand for many office and administrative support
occupations.8 Stock clerks and order fillers should lose
115,000 jobs, file clerks 93,000, and order clerks 63,000. Other
declining occupations in this group include mail clerks and
mail machine operators, except postal service; computer operators; secretaries, except legal, medical, and executive; word
processors and typists; meter readers, utilities; and office
machine operators, except computer.
Advances in manufacturing technology, such as faster
machines and more automated processes, and a shift of
assembly and other production activities to countries with
lower labor costs are expected to decrease employment for a
number of production and related occupations. Sewing
machine operators are anticipated to drop by 93,000; cutting,
punching, and press machine setters, operators, and tenders,
metal and plastic by 43,000; machine feeders and offbearers
by 27,000; and two textile machine setter, operator, and tender
occupations by 26,000 and 24,000. The list of occupations
with the largest declines also includes 2 other machine
operator, setter, and tender occupations, as well as electrical
and electronic equipment assemblers and chemical plant and
78

systems operators. Employment of photographic process
machine operators should decline by 17,000 because of the
greater use of digital cameras, which utilize electronic memory,
rather than film, to record images. Automated inspection and
the redistribution of some quality control responsibilities to
production workers should lower needs for inspectors, testers, sorters, samplers, and weighers by 13,000. Parking lot
attendants’ employment is expected to decline by 11,000 due
to the use of smart cards and other technologies that allow
drivers to pay without an attendant.
Telemarketers’ employment will decrease 42,000 as more
people opt out of receiving telephone calls and as blocking
technology improves. Door-to-door sales workers, news and
street vendors, and related workers will decline by 18,000
because of competition from stores and online outlets. Electronic commerce ordering and reordering systems should
automate much of the work of many parts salespersons,
lowering their employment by 16,000.
Seventeen of the 30 occupations with the largest numerical
declines have short-term on-the-job training as their most
significant source of postsecondary education or training, 10
have moderate-term on-the-job training, and 3 have longterm on-the-job training. Of the largest declines, 20 are in the
next-to-lowest earnings quartile and 5 are in the lowest earnings quartile.
Replacement needs and total job openings
In addition to occupational employment growth, another
aspect of the demand for workers is the need to replace those
who leave their jobs to enter other occupations, those who
retire, or those who leave the labor force for other reasons.
Job openings resulting from replacement needs are very
important because, in most occupations, they exceed job
openings resulting from employment growth. The measurement of replacement needs is complicated because of the
continuous movement of workers into and out of occupations. The replacement needs cited in this article are based
on the net change in employment (entrants minus separations) in each age cohort over the projection period. Although
this measure understates the total job openings in an
occupation, it best represents the job openings for new labor
force entrants in that occupation.9
Over the 2004–14 period, 54.7 million job openings are
expected in the economy, nearly 3 times as many as from
employment growth alone (18.9 million). (See appendix.)
Service occupations are projected to have the most total job
openings, 13.2 million. The number of job openings due to
net replacement needs should exceed the number due to
growth in occupation groups with below-average projected
growth, as well as in service occupations, a category that
includes many occupations with high job turnover. Food

preparation and serving occupations and retail sales occupations have particularly high replacement needs because large
numbers are continually entering and leaving these jobs.
However, computer and mathematical science occupations, legal
occupations, health care practitioner and technical occupations,
and health care support occupations have relatively low
replacement needs, primarily because fewer people enter these
occupations seeking a short-term source of earnings. Because
of replacement needs, even occupations that are projected to
decline—for example, farmers and ranchers, and parts
salespersons—provide some job openings.
Growth and openings by education cluster
This section updates the analysis published in the 2004–05

Total job openings represent the sum of employment increases and
net replacements. If employment change is negative, job openings due to
cational attainment across occupations, a measure that uses
Current Population Survey data for the years 2002–04.10
Current and projected occupational employment levels and
job openings for the roughly 750 occupations listed in the
appendix were assigned to 6 education clusters, as shown in
table 5.11 These measures were further assigned to 1 of 3
more education clusters: a high school diploma or less, some
college (including, but not limited to, recipients of associate
degrees), or a bachelor’s degree or higher.12
About 24 percent of the 145.6 million jobs in 2004 were in
occupations in the bachelor’s-degree-or-higher cluster.13
(See table 6.) Over the 2004–14 period, however, 36 percent
of the 18.9 million new jobs that arise are projected to be
filled by those with a bachelor’s degree or higher.14 In 2004,
almost 29 percent of jobs were in occupations in the somecollege cluster, and nearly the same percentage of new jobs
created over the 2004–14 period is projected to be filled by
those with some college. Forty-seven percent of jobs in 2004

were in the high-school-or-less cluster, but only 37 percent
of new jobs over the 2004–14 period are projected to be filled
by those with a high school education or less.
In general, occupations in the high-school-or-less cluster
account for a greater share of net replacement needs—and total
job openings—because many of those occupations have a high
turnover. Occupations in the bachelor’s-degree-or-higher cluster
have a smaller share of total job openings. Over the 2004–14
period, 25 percent of the 54.7 million total job openings are
projected to be filled by those with a bachelor’s degree or higher,
28 percent by those with some college, and 46 percent by those
with a high school education or less. (See table 6.)
Notes
ACKNOWLEDGMENT: Thanks go to Erik Savisaar and Gregory Niemesh
of the BLS Office of Occupational Statistics and Employment Projections for developing the tables for this article. E-mail queries and
other requests pertaining to the article to [email protected] or

1
Occupational projections presented in this article provide
information to those interested in labor market issues. They also
provide the background for analyses of future employment
opportunities described in the forthcoming 2006–07 Occupational
Outlook Handbook. The Internet version of this edition of the
Handbook, which will be accessible at http://www.bls.gov/oco/, is
expected to be available in late December 2005; the print version, BLS
Bulletin 2600, should be available spring 2006. Job outlook
information in the 2006–07 Handbook will use the projections
presented in each of the articles in this issue of the Monthly Labor
Review. For a description of the methodology used to develop
employment projections, see BLS Handbook of Methods, Bulletin 2490
(Bureau of Labor Statistics, April 1997), Chapter 13, pp. 122–29.
2
Ninety-one percent of the increase is projected for those who are
self-employed in their primary job, 9 percent for those who are selfemployed in their secondary job.
3
For more information on occupation groups (and occupations),
see Executive Office of the President, Office of Management and
Budget, Standard Occupational Classification Manual, 2000 (Lanham, MD , Bernan Associates, 2000).
4
Base-year employment data were developed with the use of the
Occupational Employment Statistics Survey, supplemented with data
from the Current Population Survey ( CPS ) for self-employed and
unpaid family workers.
5
See Norman C. Saunders, “A summary of BLS projections to 2014,”
this issue, pp. 3–9, for more on offshore outsourcing.

See Daniel E. Hecker, “Employment impact of electronic business,”
Monthly Labor Review, May 2001, pp. 3–16, especially p. 5.
7
The education and training categories listed in tables 2, 3, and 4 best
describe the postsecondary education or training needed by most workers
to become fully qualified in their jobs. However, for many occupations,
there are other sources of education and training as well. Data from the
BLS Current Population Survey show that, for most occupations, workers
have a variety of education levels. More detail on education and training
is available in the Occupational Outlook Handbook; more on education
and training categories is available in Occupational Projections and
Training Data, 2004–05 edition, Bulletin 2572 (Bureau of Labor
Statistics, March 2004), and Occupational Projections and Training
Data, 2006–07 edition, Bulletin 2602 (Bureau of Labor Statistics,
forthcoming.) (See also note 1.)

Hecker, “Employment impact.”
9
Net separations do not count all movements of workers out of an
occupation, a measure termed total separations. For example, an
opening caused by a worker who stops working for a time and then
gets another job in his or her previous occupation would be counted in
the measure of total separations, but not in net separations. (See the
discussion on the uses of information on replacement needs in
Occupational Projections and Training Data.)
10
CPS data for the years 2000–04 were used for small occupations.
(For a definition of a “small” occupation, see Occupational Projections and Training Data.)
11
A high school occupation is defined as an occupation in which the
percentage of employees aged 25 to 44 years and having high school
as their highest level of educational attainment is greater than or
equal to 60 percent and the percentage of those with some college or
with a bachelor’s degree or higher are each less than 20 percent.
Occupations requiring some college and college occupations are
similarly defined. (That is, the definitions are identical to that of a
high school occupation, except that the terms some college and high
school, in the one case, and college and high school, in the other, are
interchanged.) Three “mixture” occupations are defined as well. An
occupation requiring high school/some college is defined as an
occupation in which the percentages of those with at most a high
school diploma or some college as their highest level of educational
attainment are each greater than or equal to 20 percent, while the
percentage with a bachelor’s degree or higher is less than 20 percent.
Occupations described as some college/college are similarly defined.
(That is, the terms some college and college replace high school and
some college, respectively.) High school/some college/college occupations are defined as occupations in which 20 or more percent of employees have an education level of high school, some college, or college.
12
For further discussion of the methodology used to develop the
data, see Occupational Projections and Training Data, 2004–05
edition, Chapter 1; and Occupational Projections and Training Data,
2006–7 edition.
13
The distribution of jobs by cluster data differs slightly from the
actual educational attainment of individuals in 2004.
14
Note that the 36-percent figure is not an estimate of the percentage
of jobs that will “require” a college degree. (See Occupational Projections
and Training Data, 2006–07 edition, p. 34, note 5.)
