Employment for janitors and cleaners is expected to grow 3 percent through 2028, about as fast as the average for all occupations, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. Job growth may be tempered for janitors and cleaners in office buildings, however, due to the increase in remote and hybrid work. The DOL also notes that the "continued use of hi-tech cleaning methods may limit growth for some of these workers." The janitorial field is an easy one to enter since little training or education is required. Relatively high turnover is expected. The need to replace existing janitors and cleaners leaving the workforce for retirement or other reasons will create full- and part-time jobs, many of which will be located in busy urban areas. Businesses providing janitorial and cleaning services on a contract basis are expected to be among the fastest growing employers of these workers.
