Outlook
Much faster than average employment growth is expected for software developers (including visual interaction designers) through 2033, according to the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL). The DOL says that strong job growth "will stem from the continued expansion of software development for artificial intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), robotics, and other automation applications." Additionally, the staffing firm Robert Half recently included developers in its list of “In-Demand Technology Roles."
