Employment

Major employers:

Outlook

In general, the number of people working in advertising is increasing. Companies need to advertise in order to compete and introduce new products. Competition for jobs will be strong. Those with experience advertising on websites and social media should have the best prospects.

As electronic media keeps growing, fewer print ads will be needed. This will likely lead to less demand for advertising and promotions managers. Also, because digital ads can now be placed automatically, the need for these workers may decrease even more.
