Apprenticeships: Outlook and wages
in selected occupations
Apprenticeships offer a great way to earn money while learning a skill.
In many occupations with apprenticeships, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) projects employment to grow at least as fast as the average for all occupations—if not faster—from 2018 to 2028.
And wages in a number of the top occupations for apprenticeships were well above the $38,640 median annual wage in all occupations in 2018.
