Outlook
The U.S. Department of Labor projects that employment in water transportation occupations will decline by 2 percent through 2028, but the outlook varies for domestic and deep-water shipping workers. In general water transportation workers will continue to be needed, to ensure there is always a fleet of merchant ships with U.S. flags.
