Employment opportunities for personal care and service workers (a broad category that includes everything from hairstylists, cosmetologists, and manicurists, to childcare workers, fitness trainers, and funeral service workers) are expected to grow much faster than average for all occupations from 2018 to 2028, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. This growth will occur mainly due to the need to replace workers who transfer to other occupations, retire, or leave the occupation for other reasons. In addition, the desire among many women and a growing number of men to reduce the effects of aging and to lead a healthier lifestyle through better grooming, including skin and grooming treatments for relaxation, attractive appearance, and well-being, should result in employment growth.
