Growth Outlook:

The employment demand for Network Analysts and Network Administrators is undergoing a transition. While the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects a modest 4% decline in traditional network administrator roles over the next decade due to automation and cloud outsourcing, the need for specialized analysts who can manage hybrid cloud environments, zero-trust architectures, and automated network infrastructure remain high. Approximately 14,300 annual job openings are still expected as companies replace retiring workers and upgrade legacy systems.

4% decline over 10 years (with 14,300 annual openings)
