The United States Department of Labor projects that service occupations will see an incline in employment over the next 8 years. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics' Economic News Release, skin care and other personal care service jobs are projected to see employment increases between 35 and 40 percent. The service-providing industry as a whole is projected to add 14.6 million jobs, which amounts to 96 percent of the increase in total employment.
Organizations providing training for these future service employees will be vital in establishing the “quality” of growth within the industry. Academy Di Capelli School of Cosmetology’s motto, “Stop searching for a job and let’s start your career!” perfectly encapsulates the direction of the personal care industry from “recreational” to “professional.” Located in Wallingford, Connecticut, Academy Di Capelli School of Cosmetology focuses on superb craftsmanship and impeccable service skills, ultimately raising the bar for the cosmetology industry as a whole while providing a place where students can learn from the very best.
The increase in the cosmetology industry and other personal care industries is linked primarily to the aging baby boom generation and secondly to the steady demand from teenagers. In 2011, 78 million American baby boomers will begin turning 65. Despite a lackluster economy, salon owners say, “We’ve actually seen an increase in clientele. People seem to be taking care of themselves even more, now that things are looking a little grim.” The amount of disposable income in the hands of teenagers and baby boomers is expected to sustain the industry’s growth and success.
