The table below provides employment figures for Forensic Science Technicians 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 forensic science technicians is projected to grow 27 percent from 2014 to 2024, much faster than the average for all occupations. However, because it is a small occupation, the fast growth will result in only about 3,800 new jobs over the 10-year period. Competition for jobs will be strong because of substantial interest in forensic science.
