According to the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), employment of animal care and service workers is expected to grow much faster than the average for all careers through 2028. The DOL reports that "Employment of animal care and service workers in kennels, grooming shops, and pet stores is projected to increase in order to keep up with the growing demand for animal care." Job opportunities for retail salespersons, which includes pet store workers and those in other types of stores, are expected to decline slightly through 2028 due to competition from online sales.
