The Road Ahead: NC's 2032 Employment Projections, Part 2: Industry Outlooks

Article by NC Department of Commerce - The Lead Feed

08.23.24


Following our earlier blog highlighting the trends and findings of the North Carolina’s long-term employment projections, we now delve into a detailed analysis of employment projections across specific industry in the state.

Service-Providing Industries

Similar to the national trends, Service-providing industries in North Carolina are projected to add more jobs than Goods-producing industries. This sector accounted for nearly 80% of the state’s total employment in 2022 and is expected to create approximately 446,000 new jobs by 2032.


The Arts, Entertainment, and Recreation is projected to be the fastest growing sector with an annualized growth rate of 1.93%, adding nearly 16,000 jobs. However, much of this growth is expected in the initial years as the sector continues to rebound from the COVID-19 impacts. In 2020, this sector lost 25% of its jobs, and its employment in 2022 remained below the pre-pandemic levels.


The Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services is anticipated to be the second fastest-growing sector, with an annualized growth rate of 1.79%. It is also expected to rank second in net job change, adding over 62,000 new jobs in the coming decade. This sector has been historically strong and is crucial to the state economy, especially since it tends to pay relatively high wages due to specialized technical skills.
