1992–2005 Economic and Employment Projections — 1993-11-24

New projections for the American work force from 1992 to 2005 were released today by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, providing information on where future job growth is expected and what the demographic makeup of the work force pursuing those jobs will be. These projections to 2005 of overall economic growth, the labor force, and employment by occupation and industry are widely used for studying long-range economic and employment trends, planning education and training programs, and developing career information. BLS develops three alternative sets of projections because of the uncertainty inherent in the future. Low, moderate, and high growth alternative patterns for overall Gross Domestic Product and for changes in the structure of the economy's demand for goods and services are included.
