Job Openings large number
  A total of 35030 average annual openings are expected for this occupation between 2023 and 2033.

Employment very large occupation
  This was a very large occupation in the United States, employing 2,431,600 workers in 2023.
(The National average for all occupations is 150,944 workers)
Growth Average growth
  The continued need for clean and healthy spaces will support demand for the services that janitors and building cleaners provide. However, this demand will be offset by the increase in remote and hybrid work environments, which will reduce the number of physical office spaces that require regular cleanings and maintenance. In addition, the continued use of hi-tech cleaning methods may limit employment growth for these workers.
