Explore Sales and Related Occupations in the Standard Occupational Classification. BLS projects employment in this group to decline by -1.4% from 2024 to 2034, from 14,533,100 to 14,326,500 jobs. The group includes 22 detailed occupations and is projected to have 1,668,100 annual openings across them.

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.
