Job Outlook

According to the U.S. Department of Labor's

Occupational Outlook Handbook, “Employment

of electro-mechanical technicians is projected to

grow 4 percent from 2012 to 2022, slower than

the average for all occupations. Electro-

mechanical technicians are generalists in

technology, and their broad skill set will help

sustain demand for their services.”
