Loss Prevention Managers

The field of loss prevention is closely tied to the economy. As the economy strengthens, more companies will need loss prevention specialists to help them reduce theft and protect their assets. Loss prevention specialists who work in retail sectors will continue to have good employment opportunities in the next few years. According to a report by the National Retail Federation, the U.S. retail industry will continue to grow, with growth depending on the strength of the economy and the political climate. In-store experiences and the ability to interact with products before purchasing them appeals to many shoppers. As a result, the need for employees in brick-and-mortar stores will remain strong, which also means loss prevention managers will be in demand. Loss prevention managers with a bachelor's degree, strong technology skills, and experience in corporate retail loss prevention management will have the best chances of securing work.
