Overall employment in educational instruction and library occupations is projected to grow slower than the average for all occupations from 2024 to 2034. Despite limited employment growth, about 890,300 openings are projected each year, on average, in these occupations largely due to the need to replace workers who leave the occupations permanently.

The median annual wage for this group was $59,220 in May 2024, which was higher than the median annual wage for all occupations of $49,500.
