Employment for bakery workers is expected to increase faster than the average for all careers from 2022 through 2032, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. Many jobs will be available because of greater demand for bakery workers preparing specialty baked goods, such as cupcakes, pies, and cakes, from grocery stores, retail bakeries, manufacturing plants, restaurants. Highly skilled bakers such as pastry chefs will be in strong demand because of the increased sales of specialty products. Many current positions will become available as workers retire or change jobs.
However, the projected growth in employment for bakery workers may be offset by the emerging popularity of low-carbohydrate diets. In the future, employment of bakers in food manufacturing may slow as these facilities increasingly use automated machines and equipment to mass-produce baked goods.
