Outlook
According to the National Nanotechnology Initiative, “the possibilities [of nanotechnology] seem limitless, and the future of nanotechnology holds great potential.” The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) does not provide an employment outlook for nanotechnologists. It does predicts that employment for clinical laboratory technologists and technicians who work in the areas of research and development in the physical, engineering, and life sciences is expected to grow by 11.1 percent from 2023 through 2033. This is much faster than the average for all careers. Experienced nanotechnologists with advanced education will have the best employment prospects in the coming years.
