Job Outlook


Advertising, marketing, promotions, public relations, and sales
manager jobs are highly coveted and will be sought by other managers
or highly experienced professionals, resulting in keen competition.
College graduates with related experience, a high level of creativity,
and strong communication skills should have the best job
opportunities. In particular, employers will seek those who have the
computer skills to conduct advertising, marketing, promotions, public
relations, and sales activities on the Internet.

Employment of advertising, marketing, promotions, public relations,
and sales managers is expected to increase faster than the average for
all occupations through 2014, spurred by intense domestic and global
competition in products and services offered to consumers. However,
projected employment growth varies by industry. For example,
employment is projected to grow much faster than average in
scientific, professional, and related services, such as computer
systems design and related services, and in advertising and related
services, as businesses increasingly hire contractors for these
services instead of additional full-time staff. By contrast, a decline
in employment is expected in many manufacturing industries.
