The HVACR workforce in the United States

According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, there were 394,100 heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration mechanics and installers employed in the US in 2021.[1] The expected growth rate for this category of jobs is 5% for the period 2021-2031 (+20,200) which is about as fast as the average for all occupations. Commercial and residential building construction is expected to drive employment growth. Furthermore, the growing number of sophisticated climate-control systems should also increase the demand for qualified heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration (HVACR) technicians.
