Outlook
Demand for coin and vending machine repairers will show little to no change over the next few years. New vending machines require less maintenance than older machines. Some machines use wireless data transmitters to signal when restocking or repairs are needed. This allows servicers and repairers to visit machines less often and requires fewer workers.
Repairers with experience, or a background in electronics, will have the best job prospects.
