Career Path Forecast
According to the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics,
employment of industrial engineers is projected to grow 10 percent from 2019 to 2029, faster than the average for all occupations.
This occupation is versatile both in the nature of the work it does and in the industries in which its expertise can be put to use. Because they are not as specialized as other engineers, industrial engineers are employed in a wide range of industries, including major manufacturing industries, consulting and engineering services, and research and development firms. This versatility arises from the fact that these engineers focus on reducing internal costs, making their work valuable for many industries.
For example, their work is important for manufacturing industries that are considering relocating from overseas to domestic sites.
In addition, growth in healthcare and changes in how healthcare is delivered will create demand for industrial engineers in firms in professional, scientific, and consulting services.
