Growth Outlook:

Employment of glaziers in the United States is projected to grow 3 percent from 2024 to 2034, which is about as fast as the average for all occupations. The demand is primarily driven by new commercial building construction and the growing need to replace aging window systems with modern, energy-efficient glass. Artificial intelligence and automation have minimal impact on this hands-on, high-precision trade, though advanced laser measuring tools are improving installation speed. Approximately 5,100 job openings are expected annually to replace transitioning workers.
