Job Outlook
According to the U.S. Department of Labor's
Occupational Outlook Handbook,
“Employment of heating, air conditioning,
and refrigeration mechanics and installers is
projected to grow 21 percent from 2012 to
2022, faster than the average for all
occupations. Candidates familiar with
computers and electronics and those with
good troubleshooting skills will have the
best job opportunities as employers
continue to have difficulty finding qualified
technicians to work on complex new
systems.”
