Employment Projections

Find the expected employment growth and annual openings for all published occupations in New York State and its 10 labor market regions. These 10-year forecasts, which are updated every other year, are intended to help individuals make informed education and career decisions and assist educators and training providers in planning for future needs. Included with our long-term occupational projections are these important supplementary data series:

• Annual wages (mean, median, entry and experienced levels)
• Measures of education and training
• Employment prospects
• Comparison of New York State and U.S. occupational growth rates

Our Statewide projections cover 2022-2032 and Regional projections cover the 2022-2032 time period.

Industry and occupational employment projections are estimates of expected future employment levels and growth rates. These projections contain a degree of uncertainty, as it is impossible to predict with precision future developments that may impact the labor market such as economic shocks or new technologies. Projections are updated every other year to incorporate new data and developments, among other updates. To assess future employment trends, we suggest focusing on the direction and relative size of projected changes, rather than on the precise value estimates.
