Growth Outlook:

The demand for skilled Roofers in the United States is projected to grow by 6% from 2024 to 2034, which is faster than the average for all occupations. This growth is driven by the regular need to repair, replace, and install roofs on commercial and residential buildings, along with the growing adoption of solar shingle systems. The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects approximately 12,700 job openings annually over the decade, resulting from both sector expansion and the need to replace workers transitioning to other industries or retirement.
