Outlook
Employment of advertising salespeople is expected to decline. As print media such as newspapers become less common, fewer advertising salespeople will be needed. Advertising salespeople will still be needed for digital media such as online ads.
However, some forms of digital advertising can be developed without salespeople. Those with experience, a knowledge of digital advertising techniques, and a bachelor's degree will have the best opportunities.
