Outlook for glaziers in Arizona
Arizona's labor market agency projects the number of glaziers in the state to change by +20.9% between 2024 and 2034, from 2,220 to 2,680, with about 240 openings a year. Nationally, BLS projects +1.9% over 2025-35. State counts include the self-employed and use a different base year, so they do not match the 2,370 counted by the BLS employer survey.
