WORKING CONDITIONS

Social and human service assistants held

about 384,200 jobs in 2010. They work for

nonprofit organizations, private for-profit

social service agencies, and state and local

government. They may work in offices,

clinics, hospitals, group homes, and

shelters. Some travel around their

communities to see clients.

JOB OUTLOOK

Employment of social and human service assistants is expected to grow by 28 percent from 2010 to 2020,

faster than the average for all occupations. Growth will be due to an increase in the elderly population and

a rising demand for health care and social services.

Much of the growth will be due to the needs of an aging population. An increase in number of older adults

will cause growth in demand for social services. The elderly population often needs services such as adult

day care and meal delivery. Social and human service assistants, who help find and provide these services,

will be needed to meet this increased demand.

In addition, growth is expected as more people seek treatment for their addictions and more drug offenders

are sent to treatment programs rather than to jail. The result will be an increase in demand for social and

human service assistants who work in treatment programs or work with people with addictions.

There also will be a continued demand for child and family social and human service assistants. They will be

needed to help workers investigate child abuse cases, as well as to place children in foster care and with

adoptive families.

EARNINGS

The median hourly wage of social and

human service assistants was $13.56 in May

2010.The median wage is the wage at which

half the workers in an occupation earned

more than that amount and half earned less.

The lowest 10 percent earned less than

$9.03, and the top 10 percent earned more

than $21.59.

are under pressure to serve customers quickly and efficiently

JOB OUTLOOK

Overall employment of food and beverage serving and related workers is projected to grow 12

percent from 2010 to 2020, about as fast as the average for all occupations. Employment

growth will vary by specialty.

Nonrestaurant servers, such as those who deliver food trays in hotels, hospitals, residential care

facilities, and at catered events, are expected to have about as fast as average employment

growth. Combined food preparation and serving workers, which includes fast-food workers, will

also have about as fast as average employment growth. Because these workers are essential to

the operation of a food-serving establishment, they will continue to be in demand.

Employment growth of dining room and cafeteria attendants, counter attendants, and hosts and

hostesses is expected to be slower than the average. Despite slower than average employment

growth, these workers will still be needed to perform important duties at food-serving

establishments as a growing population continues to eat outside of the home.

Working Conditions

Urban and regional planners held about 40,300 jobs in 2010, a majority of which

—about 64 percent—were in local government.

Most other planners worked for state and federal government, real estate

developers, nonprofits, and planning consulting firms. Planners work throughout

the country in all sizes of municipality, but most work in large metropolitan

areas.

The following industries employed the largest numbers of urban and regional

planners in 2010:

*Local government, excluding education and hospitals 64%

*Architectural, engineering, and related services 14%

*State government, excluding education and hospitals 10%

*Management, scientific, and technical consulting

Job Outlook Employment of urban and regional planners is expected to grow 16 percent from 2010 to 2020,

about as fast as the average for all occupations. Population growth and environmental concerns

will drive employment growth for planners in cities, suburbs, and other areas.

Urban areas will need planners to accommodate an expected influx of people into metropolitan

areas. Within cities, urban planners will be needed to develop revitalization projects and address

problems associated with population growth.

Suburbs are the fastest-growing communities in most metropolitan areas. As suburban areas

become more heavily populated, municipalities will need planners to address changing housing

needs and to improve transportation systems.

Planners also will be important as new communities will require extensive development and

infrastructure, including housing, roads, sewer systems, schools.

An increased focus on sustainable and environmentally-conscious development also will increase

demand for planners. Issues such as storm water management, permits, environmental

regulation, and historic preservation should drive employment growth

Earnings The median annual wage of urban and regional planners was

$63,040 in May 2010. The median wage is the wage at which half

the workers in an occupation earned more than that amount and

half earned less. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $40,410,

and the top 10 percent earned more than $96,420.

Median annual wages in the industries employing the largest

numbers of urban and regional planners in May 2010 were:

*Architectural, engineering, and related services $68,240

*Management, scientific, and technical consulting services 66,280
