Outlook
The U.S. Department of Labor predicts that job opportunities for animal care and service workers will grow much faster than the average for all careers through 2029. However, employment prospects for zoo animal care workers will not be as strong because the field is so small and competition for jobs is very high. Each year, there are many more applicants than positions available.
