Outlook
Physical fitness is growing in popularity in the United States. The President's Council on Fitness, Sports, & Nutrition continues to encourage children and adults to be fit. The U.S. Department of Labor predicts that employment for elementary and middle school teachers will grow slower than the average for all careers through 2028, while high school teachers will experience average growth. State and local government budget deficits may impact employment, which will vary regionally.
