Employment of jewelers is expected to decline by 4 percent through 2033, according to the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL). Low or skilled or unskilled workers will have the most difficult time obtaining or keeping a job in the industry since most manufacturing jobs for this type of worker are being given to workers overseas.
Consumers now are purchasing jewelry from mass marketers, discount stores, catalogs, television shopping shows, and the Internet as well as from traditional retail stores. This may result in store closings or limited hiring.
There will be some demand for bench jewelers to replace those who are retiring or leaving the industry for other reasons. Those who have graduated from a trade school or training program and have related work experience will have an advantage in the job market.
