Outlook
Demand for this career is expected to decline. Imports from other countries now supply more than half of all clothing sold in the US. These mass-produced items are less expensive than custom-made garments. Tailors will continue to be in limited demand at clothing stores as some consumers will pay to have items altered.
Job openings will occur as current tailors leave this career.
