Growth
|
Average growth
|
|
Employment growth in the occupation is tied to student enrollments at colleges and universities. As more people enter colleges and universities, more postsecondary education administrators will be needed to serve the needs of these additional students.
Despite expected increases in enrollment, employment growth in public colleges and universities will depend on state and local government budgets. If there is a budget deficit, postsecondary institutions may lay off employees, including administrators. If there is a budget surplus, postsecondary institutions may hire more employees.
