Outlook
Growth for this career is expected to be about as fast as average. The weatherization industry is growing due to government incentives and increased consumer interest. These incentives make weatherization more affordable for individuals and businesses. As the construction industry grows, opportunities for weatherization installers should be good. An increase in the number of powerful storms also means that more people are taking steps to protect their homes.
However, this is a small career so very few job openings are expected. Openings will occur as workers retire or leave this career.
