Employment Prospects
Employers
Stevedores are employed at all U.S. ports. The Department of Labor reports that 11,620 people worked as tank car, truck, and ship loaders in May 2019. The bulk of jobs for stevedores are concentrated on the coasts, and larger companies employ greater numbers of longshore workers. Usually, applicants must be union members to secure a position with one of the larger companies.
