Growth Outlook:
Employment for computer programmers in the United States is projected to decline by 6% from 2024 to 2034. This decline is primarily driven by the automation of basic coding tasks and the outsourcing of programming work to international markets. However, the demand for programmers who can collaborate with artificial intelligence tools and manage cloud-based application logic remains steady. Job openings will continue to arise from the need to replace workers transitioning to other roles or retiring, particularly in tech consulting and finance.
