The U.S. Department of Labor predicts that employment of cosmetologists will grow by 7 percent from 2023 through 2033. This is faster than the average for all careers. Job opportunities for cosmetologists who work in death care services are expected to grow by 3.2 percent (as fast as the average) during this same time span. An increase in the number of expected deaths among the aging baby boomer population will create need for the services of mortuary cosmetologists. According to the CIA World Factbook, the estimated U.S. death rate was 8.5 per 1,000 in the U.S. population in 2024, and the rate is expected to increase in the coming years. Mortuary cosmetologists who market themselves well and establish a strong, professional network will have the advantage in the job market.
