Total employment is projected to grow 3.1 percent between 2024 and 2034, increasing from 170.0 million to 175.2 million, for a total of 5.2 million additional new jobs. Most of these projected job gains are in the healthcare and social assistance sector and the professional, scientific, and technical services sector. Four sectors are expected to experience job losses over the decade, the bulk of which are concentrated in the retail trade sector.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) projects total employment to grow from 170.0 million in 2024 to 175.2 million in 2034, an increase of 3.1 percent, which is much slower than the 13.0-percent employment growth recorded over the 2014–24 decade. (See chart 1.) While wage and salary employment is projected to increase by 3.1 percent, the number of self-employed workers is projected to increase by 2.2 percent over the projections period.1
