Outlook to 2009
Your work prospects will continue to be FAIR because:
Enrolment in the fields of study related to this occupation has increased considerably. This will likely result in a very significant number of graduates over the next few years and could lead to a decrease in employment opportunities. The employment growth rate will likely be above average.

Although the retirement rate will likely be average, the number of retiring workers should contribute to job openings.

The number of job seekers will likely exceed the number of job openings.

Good luck Louise
