Empowering Businesses
Management consultants. Financial planners. Architects. Lawyers. IT specialists. What do all of these careers have in common? They fall under the branch of Professional Services—a category of experts who empower businesses and individuals to reach their full potential.
The Industry is Specializing in Growth
The number of employed business professionals has not only surpassed pre-pandemic figures, but it’s also reached an all-time high.[1] And for most careers in the industry, the future seems even brighter.
Looking forward to 2031, lawyers are projected to have a job growth rate of 10%,[2] as are marketing professionals.[3] Accountants should see an increase of around 6%,[4] while consultants can expect a whopping 11%.[5] As a whole, the sector is booming.
In Ventura County, the outlook is just as promising. Employment in the region’s Professional & Business category is expected to continue its steady rise, reaching nearly 50,000 jobs by 2026.[6] And while the sector may not have the explosive growth of other industries, it has proven to be resilient—and necessary. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, there were minimal job losses across the professional services industry.[7]
