The U.S. Department of Labor predicts that job growth in the airline industry will experience slower than average growth, at a rate of 4 percent, through 2032. Nevertheless, prospects differ depending on the job, and the employment outlook is brighter for some areas of the industry. A marked growth in the world's population should also mean a rising number of passengers and subsequent demand for more flights, especially at large international commercial airports.
There should be many job openings for workers in this field since these positions pay relatively low salaries and require little educational preparation. Positions will become available as workers leave the field for better-paying positions with more opportunities for advancement.
