What is the job outlook for exterminators?

Career: Exterminator

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the job outlook for pest control workers is expected to grow by 8 percent between 2016 and 2026, which is an average pace compared to all other occupations. There is a growing number of invasive species in the country, including stink bugs, which drives continued growth in this industry. There are a limited number of workers seeking employment in extermination, and with the need to replace workers who are leaving or retiring, it is expected that there will be many job openings now and in the future.
