Employment for producers and directors in the motion pictures and video industries is expected to grow faster than the average for all careers through 2028, according to the U.S. Department of Labor.

Employment for producers and directors in television broadcasting is expected to grow more slowly than the average through 2028. Though opportunities have increased with the expansion of online cable and satellite television and news programs, development of interactive media, and increases in mobile and online television, competition for jobs will remain high. Freelance opportunities are expected as networks look to independent production companies for more programming. Some positions will also be available as current producers leave the workforce.
