Office and Administrative Support
In these occupations, workers prepare and organize documents, track products, and provide information to the public.
Overall employment in office and administrative support occupations is projected to decline 4 percent from 2021 to 2031, resulting in a decrease of about 880,800 jobs over the decade. Despite declining employment, opportunities are expected to arise from the need to replace workers who leave their occupations permanently. About 2.2 million openings each year, on average, are projected to come from replacement needs.
