Employment in office and administrative support occupations is projected to decline 5 percent, with a loss of about 959,700 jobs from 2019 to 2029.

Despite projected employment declines, however, openings are expected to result from the need to replace workers who transfer to other occupations or exit the labor force, such as to retire.
The median annual wage for office and administrative support occupations was $37,580 in May 2019, below the median for all occupations of $39,810.
