2010 - 2020 Job Outlook for Architecture and Engineering Occupations

Architecture and engineering occupations are projected to add 252,800 new jobs, growing 10 percent, from 2010 to 2020.

Employment growth is expected to come primarily from the architectural, engineering, and related services industry group, which accounted for almost 26 percent of jobs for architecture and engineering occupations in 2010.

However, the projected employment decline in many manufacturing industries will limit growth for this occupational group. Nearly 30 percent of jobs for architecture and engineering occupations are in manufacturing industries.
