Growth Outlook:
Employment of atmospheric scientists, including meteorologists, in the United States is projected to grow 1 percent from 2024 to 2034, which is slower than the average growth rate across all occupations. Despite this low expansion rate, the industry expects about 700 job openings each year. Most of these positions will stem from replacing workers who retire or transition to other fields. The private sector offers the strongest prospects, as industries like energy, agriculture, and shipping increasingly rely on custom climate data to manage hazards.
