Outlook

Demand for this career is expected to grow about as fast as average. New construction is seasonal, so wallpaper hangers may experience periods without work. However, those who are employed by a company that also does renovations should spend less time without work. Some homeowners are also beginning to apply temporary wallpaper that can be installed without a professional wallpaper hanger.

Some job openings will be created as people leave this career. Many people enter this career, gain skills, and move on to other types of work.
