Employment opportunities for arbitrators, mediators, and conciliators are expected to increase by 6 percent from 2023 to 2033, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. This is faster than the average for all careers. “Conflict resolution is an expanding field of professional practice, both in the United States and around the world,” according to an article about the field at the Web site of the Scheinman Institute at Cornell University. “The escalating costs of conflict for both organizations and individuals has led to the increased use of arbitrators, mediators, and other neutrals, including fact-finders, facilitators, and ombudsmen to resolve such conflicts.”
Many arbitrators, mediators, and conciliators are employed by state local governments, where limited budgets have reduced hiring for these positions in recent years.
