Building Cleaning Workers

Significant Points

  • This very large occupation requires few skills to enter and has one of the largest numbers of job openings of any occupation each year.
  • Most job openings result from the need to replace the many workers who leave these jobs because of their limited opportunities for training or advancement, low pay, and high incidence of only part-time or temporary work.
  • Most new jobs will occur in businesses providing janitorial and cleaning services on a contract basis.
