Outlook
Demand for this career is expected to show little to no change. Much of the demand for ambulance drivers will be the result of a population that is both growing and aging. As the population grows, the number of health care emergencies will increase. In addition, elderly people are more likely than younger people to need emergency medical care. However, it is a very small career and not many jobs will be created.
