The Road Ahead: North Carolina's 2032 Employment Projections

Article by NC Department of Commerce, The Lead Feed

08.19.24


The Labor & Economic Analysis Division (LEAD) has recently unveiled North Carolina’s long-term employment projections through 2032. The projections offer in-depth insight into both industry and occupational trends, with the full data available on our web-site. This blog is part of the projections series highlighting key statewide trends and findings. Additionally, projections for the sub-state areas will be released at a later time. 

 

Total employment



North Carolina is projected to add over 500,000 new jobs between 2022 and 2032, with employment growing at an average annual rate of 0.96% between 2022 and 2032. While this growth rate is lower than the 1.33% average seen over the past three decades, it remains significantly higher than the projected national average of 0.28% for the same period.

Industry Employment Projections

  • The Service-providing sector is projected to contribute nearly 88% of all net new jobs created.  
  • Health Care and Social Assistance, the state’s largest industry by employment, is expected to add 101,500 new jobs by 2032.
  • The Arts, Entertainment, and Recreation industry, along with the Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services industry, are projected to be the fastest growing sectors, accounting for nearly 16,000 and 62,000 new jobs, respectively.
  • The Manufacturing industry is anticipated to experience slow growth, with just over 16,000 jobs in the next decade.
  • Agriculture, Forestry, Fishing and Hunting is the only sector projected to lose jobs, though the decline is expected to be marginal.
