Outlook
Growth for this career is expected to decline. Improvements in electronic equipment designs are making it easier for people to repair the equipment themselves. The increased use of disposable tool parts are also expected to reduce the need for audiovisual equipment installers and repairers. Newer electronics also require less repairs.
Job openings will occur as workers retire or take higher paying jobs in other careers that require electronics experience. Opportunities will be best for repairers who have experience, knowledge of electronics, and good customer service skills.
