Employment

Major employers:

  • Federal government agencies

Outlook

Growth is expected to show little to no change for this career. The increasing use of geographic technology, including Geographic Information Systems (GIS), will spur some growth in this career. However, budget restrictions for businesses and the government will limit opportunities. 

Competition for jobs is expected to be strong. This is due to the limited number of job openings. Geographers who have an advanced degree who know how to use GIS technology will have the best job prospects.
