Outlook
Demand for this career is expected to grow faster than average as businesses try to become more profitable and use less energy as they manufacture products.
Although this is a large career, few jop openings are expected. Openings will occur each year as managers transfer to other positions, start their own businesses, or retire. However, many who leave their jobs transfer to other management positions. This tends to limit the number of job openings for new entrants.
