The table below provides employment figures for Bailiffs by State and Metropolitan Area. To view figures for metropolitan areas (i.e. cities) in any given state, click on the name of that state.
Employment of correctional officers and bailiffs is projected to grow 4 percent from 2014 to 2024, slower than the average for all occupations. Although state and local budget constraints and prison populations will determine how many correctional officers are necessary, employment opportunities will continue because the stress associated with the job causes many to leave the occupation each year.
