According to the U.S. Department of Labor, in May 2023, approximately 8,110 farm and home management advisers, including agribusiness technicians, worked in the United States. The agricultural sector's ability to produce more with fewer workers will put some farms out of business in the coming years. Larger and more productive farms will continue to need the help of agribusiness technicians. Despite the fluctuations in the agricultural industry, job opportunities for agribusiness professionals and technicians are projected to grow 4 percent through 2032, faster than the average for all occupations.
Agribusiness technicians may also find more opportunities to work abroad; agribusiness plays a large part in global trade issues and the government's efforts to support farms and agricultural reforms in other countries. Agribusiness construction is a subfield that is developing as a result of these reforms; technicians will be needed to assist in the planning and construction of farm-to-market roads in other countries, irrigation channels, bridges, grain silos, and other improvements.
