Growth Outlook:
Employment for cashiers in the United States is projected to decline by 10% from 2024 to 2034. This reduction is driven by the wider implementation of automated checkout systems, mobile scan-and-go applications, and self-service kiosks, which decrease the demand for traditional staffed counters. However, because of high turnover, approximately 542,600 job openings are projected annually to replace workers leaving the field. Job seekers skilled in customer relations and POS technology will have the best opportunities.
