Office and Administrative Support – Job Summaries

Employment in office and administrative support occupations is projected to decline 5 percent, with a loss of about 959,700 jobs from 2019 to 2029. Technology is expected to substitute or supplant some functions that workers in office and administrative support occupations do. Despite projected employment declines, however, openings are expected to result from the need to replace workers who transfer to other occupations or exit the labor force, such as to retire.
