Outlook
Demand for subway and streetcar operators is expected to grow about as fast as average. More commuter and light-rail transportation systems are being proposed around the country. Job opportunities will be best in cities where the construction of commuter and light-rail transit systems is underway.
Job openings will occur as current workers retire or leave this career for other reasons. Competition for these jobs is keen. Because the pay is good, the work is steady, and the career is very small, there will be more applicants than openings.
