Employment Outlook
Careers in this cluster fall into government and public administration and the miliary occupational groups used by the Bureau of Labor Statistics for occupational projections.
Government and Public Administration
As government is so large, nearly every career can fall into this group. Employment varies for many of the careers because laws limit the length and number of terms a person can stay in office. Important issues change with every new administration causing the number of jobs in any given area to fluctuate as well.
Military
Opportunities should be very good for qualified individuals in all branches of the Armed Forces through 2028. All services have needs to fill entry-level and professional positions as current members of the Armed Forces move up through the ranks, leave the service, or retire.
