Outlook
Demand for this career is expected to have average growth. The fastest growth will be with television and movie production companies. Some companies are creating movies or shows that go directly to the Internet. This may lead to increased work for set designers. Small- and medium-sized theater companies find it difficult to get funding and will see slower job growth. Budget cuts may reduce the number of available jobs in museums or at historical societies.
Because this career is small, the number of job openings each year will be limited. Competition for these positions will be strong.
