Information about these occupations was taken from the 2006-2007 Occupational Outlook Handbook. To find out more information about various occupations, visit the Occupational Outlook Handbook.
Banking
- Wage and salary employment in banking is projected to decline 2 percent over the 2004-14 period, compared to 14 percent growth for wage and salary employment across all industries, as consolidation and automation make banks more efficient.
- Office and administrative support workers constitute 2 out of 3 jobs; tellers account for about 1 out of 4 jobs.
- Many job opportunities are expected for tellers and other office and administrative support workers because these occupations are large and have high turnover.
- Many management positions are filled by promoting experienced, technically skilled professional personnel.
More information can be found at the Occupational Outlook Handbook website.
Photographers
- Competition for jobs is expected to be keen because the work is attractive to many people.
- Technical expertise, a “good eye,” imagination, and creativity are essential.
- More than half of all photographers are self-employed; the most successful are adept at operating a business and able to take advantage of opportunities provided by rapidly changing technologies.
