Career Path Forecast
 Employment of environmental
science and protection technicians is expected to grow much faster than
the average during the 2006-16 decade. These workers will be needed to help regulate waste
products; to collect air, water, and soil samples for measuring levels
of pollutants; to monitor compliance with environmental regulations; and
to clean up contaminated sites. Over 80 percent of this growth is
expected to be in professional, scientific, and technical services as
environmental monitoring, management, and regulatory compliance
increase.
In addition to job openings
created by growth, many openings should arise from the need to replace
technicians who retire or leave the labor force for other reasons.
