17-0000
Explore Architecture and Engineering Occupations in the Standard Occupational Classification. BLS projects employment in this group to grow by 6.8% from 2024 to 2034, from 2,690,200 to 2,872,400 jobs. The group includes 36 detailed occupations and is projected to have 174,700 annual openings across them. Annual openings include replacement needs; they are estimates, not current vacancies or freelance project demand. Compare individual profiles for occupation-specific outlooks, wages, preparation, and O*NET skills. Group wage figures are employment-weighted averages of occupation-level median annual wages, using base-year employment as the weight. This derived comparison is not a BLS median for the group or a pay estimate for a typical worker.
