Right now jobs in the fuel oil, HVAC, and energy industries
are in high demand—and they are only expected to continue to increase in the
next decade. If you are a technical student planning for your future or a
current energy professional looking for a career change, this report from the
U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics has some great news.
HVAC Job Predictions in the United States
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports:
Employment of heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration mechanics and installers is projected to grow 13 percent from 2018 to 2028, much faster than the average for all occupations.
Commercial and residential building construction is
expected to drive employment growth. The growing number of sophisticated
climate-control systems is also expected to increase demand for qualified HVACR
technicians.
Repair and replacement of HVACR systems is a large part
of what technicians do. The growing emphasis on energy efficiency and pollution
reduction is likely to increase the demand for HVACR technicians as
climate-control systems are retrofitted, upgraded, or replaced entirely.
What Job Seekers Need to Know
