Outlook
The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) reports that employment for security guards is expected to increase by 2 percent from 2023 through 2033, as public concern about crime, vandalism, civil unrest, and terrorism continues to exist. "Advances in remote monitoring technology, such as cameras integrated with artificial intelligence, to prevent cheating may limit the employment of some security guards and gambling surveillance officers and investigators," according to the DOL. Those with extensive training and prior work experience will have better chances in the job market. Security guards with a background in law enforcement will have the best prospects.
