According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of social and community service managers is projected to grow 17 percent from 2019 to 2029. This growth is expected to be much faster than the average growth rate for all occupations. Specific to the human services field, employment of community and social service specialists is likely to increase by 14 percent in that same period.

As facilities grow in physical size and population, so must their employee base expand to serve the needs of their residents and the guest who visit them.
