Faster than average employment growth is expected through 2033 for investment bankers, according to the Department of Labor. As the economy rebounds post pandemic, investment bankers will continue to be needed to provide services such as helping with initial public offerings and mergers and acquisitions. As the DOL described it, the U.S. "remains an international financial center, meaning that the economic growth of countries around the world will contribute to employment growth in the U.S. financial industry." Job growth may also be boosted due to the increase in the aging population and the decline in traditional pensions, so as people near retirement, they will seek help with their investments. Those with extensive, specialized experience in industry/coverage groups or product groups will have the best job prospects.
