Lawnmower Repairers - Employment & Outlook

The table below provides information about the number of workers in this career in various regions. It also provides information about the expected growth rate and future job openings.

Employment

Major employers:

  • Equipment dealers
  • Lawn and garden supplies stores
  • Engine repair shops

Outlook

Demand for this career will grow more slowly than average. As small engines become more sophisticated people will need to take their equipment to mechanics for repair. However, electric-powered small enginers may require less maintenance and repair services which may reduce some demand.

Most job openings will occur as current mechanics transfer to other jobs or retire. Job opportunities will be good for people who complete formal mechanic training programs.
