Dental laboratory
technicians hold about 53,000 jobs in the United States. About 55
percent of salaried jobs were in medical equipment and supply
manufacturing laboratories, which usually are small, privately owned
businesses with fewer than 5 employees. However, some laboratories are
large; a few employ more than 1,000 workers.
In addition to
manufacturing laboratories, many dental laboratory technicians worked in
offices of dentists. Some dental laboratory technicians open their own
offices.
