Job Outlook for Autodesk AutoCAD Certified Professionals

According to Zippia, AutoCAD designer salaries have increased by 11% in the last five years. The U.S.  Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that overall employment in architecture and engineering occupations (that require AutoCAD proficiency) is projected to continue to grow through 2031. This increase is expected to result in about 91,300 new jobs by the same year.

In addition to new jobs from growth, opportunities arise from the need to replace workers who leave their occupations permanently (retire, etc.). About 200,900 job openings each year, on average, are projected to come from growth and replacement needs.

Drafters are also projected to see strong job openings, with about 18,900 openings for drafters projected each year, on average, through 2031.
