The result was startling: over 60% vocalized fears of job insecurity. Given the current state of the world, perhaps this is not surprising. However, ponder this: those with more extensive experience in the workforce worried more about their job security than peers who were employed for less time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We know that architects were hit particularly hard by the financial crisis in 2008, but now, over a decade later, another major economic and social crisis has passed.

Meanwhile, a recent report published by the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bls.gov\/ooh\/architecture-and-engineering\/architects.htm#tab-6\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">US Bureau of Labor Statistics<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> projects that employment in the architectural sector will grow just 1% over the next decade. This number falls below the national average for all occupations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Much ink has been spilled over the disruptive potential of BIM software and measuring technology and their potential to limit employment growth in the industry; however, architecture is so closely tied to so many other aspects of the economy that the dips we are currently witnessing may be a response to other sectors that have been badly hit in the past year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The number of staff that a firm may require is, in large part, related to the rate of building activity. Indeed, while architects depend on robust hospitality industry and a booming housing market for commissions, there is perhaps no more important sector to architectural employment than the construction industry. Having one thing fall out of line can have substantial impacts on firm billings, available positions and, ultimately, job security. Unfortunately, this also means that it can be challenging to predict demand for architectural positions, as the construction sector has its own fluctuations.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_72537\" style=\"width: 2010px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-72537\" class=\"lazy lazy_media_item wp-image-72537 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.arc.ht\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/TBM-OFFICE-Tokyo-Japan-1.jpeg?resize=2000%2C1335&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"job security architecture industry\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1335\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/TBM-OFFICE-Tokyo-Japan-1.jpeg?w=2000&amp;ssl=1 2000w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/TBM-OFFICE-Tokyo-Japan-1.jpeg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/TBM-OFFICE-Tokyo-Japan-1.jpeg?resize=1024%2C684&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/TBM-OFFICE-Tokyo-Japan-1.jpeg?resize=768%2C513&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/TBM-OFFICE-Tokyo-Japan-1.jpeg?resize=1536%2C1025&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/TBM-OFFICE-Tokyo-Japan-1.jpeg?resize=400%2C267&amp;ssl=1 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-72537\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em><a href=\"https:\/\/architizer.com\/projects\/tbm-office\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TBM OFFICE<\/a> by <a class=\"bluelink js-use-pushstate\" href=\"https:\/\/architizer.com\/firms\/clouds-architecture-office\/\" data-name=\"firm\">Clouds Architecture Office<\/a>, Tokyo, Japan<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many firms have also complained of cost increases in varying degrees for basic construction materials and finished construction products. Strain on established supply chains has made certain materials more difficult to procure, and long wait times can also hamper a firm\u2019s output, leading to shortened hours or layoffs. Yet, architectural staffing needs are not solely dictated by construction activity. There are a plethora of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.architectmagazine.com\/aia-architect\/aiafeature\/how-many-architects-does-our-economy-need_o\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">additional variables<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that influence the number of job positions in the economy at any given time, thereby contributing to job security.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>An Aging Industry<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As populations worldwide continue aging, the ratio of future architects to retiring employees will also factor into job security. According to the AIA\u2019s most recent <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/content.aia.org\/sites\/default\/files\/2021-01\/2019-Membership-Demographics-Report.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">data from 2019<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the median age of AIA members was 50 years (this number has remained stable for the last decade), the number of members over the age of 60 has risen 4% since 2012. Meanwhile, the 40-59 age group was the only one to shrink \u2014 it lost 6.8%. If the former age group begins retiring in the coming years, the group aged 20\u201339, which has increased by 3.6 points, will have more opportunities to grow.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Education<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The number of graduates with architecture degrees <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.collegefactual.com\/majors\/architecture-and-related-services\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">continues to climb<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, making competition stiffer on the job market. According to the most recent available data, between 2018 &#8211; 2019, nearly 18,000 students in the field graduated in America, making architecture the 28th most popular major nationwide. This number represents a 2.1% increase in the number of degrees awarded in the same field the previous year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Location and <\/b><strong>Specialization<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In America, the AIA has shown that firms in the Midwest and South have expanded more than others located in different parts of the country. Meanwhile, West coast firms remained relatively stagnant. On top of this, those firms who specialize in particular commercial\/industrial areas have experienced the largest billings increases in the past months.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This suggests that those who work in specialized firms or who have a unique and in-demand specialization may be able to rest assured. For instance, with many aging health care facilities across the world, architects with a relevant background in this sector may be in demand \u2014 the same could be said for individuals who specialize in up-and-coming software or expertise related to sustainability. Likewise, the location of your firm may also be an important factor in job security.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_72540\" style=\"width: 2010px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-72540\" class=\"lazy lazy_media_item wp-image-72540 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.arc.ht\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/TBM-OFFICE-Tokyo-Japan-3.jpeg?resize=2000%2C1335&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"job security TBM OFFICE by Clouds Architecture Office, Tokyo, Japan\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1335\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/TBM-OFFICE-Tokyo-Japan-3.jpeg?w=2000&amp;ssl=1 2000w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/TBM-OFFICE-Tokyo-Japan-3.jpeg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/TBM-OFFICE-Tokyo-Japan-3.jpeg?resize=1024%2C684&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/TBM-OFFICE-Tokyo-Japan-3.jpeg?resize=768%2C513&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/TBM-OFFICE-Tokyo-Japan-3.jpeg?resize=1536%2C1025&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/TBM-OFFICE-Tokyo-Japan-3.jpeg?resize=400%2C267&amp;ssl=1 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-72540\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em><a href=\"https:\/\/architizer.com\/projects\/tbm-office\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TBM OFFICE<\/a> by <a class=\"bluelink js-use-pushstate\" href=\"https:\/\/architizer.com\/firms\/clouds-architecture-office\/\" data-name=\"firm\">Clouds Architecture Office<\/a>, Tokyo, Japan<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<h2><b>Billings and Inquiries Rebound<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Department of Labor\u2019s Consumer Price Index (CPI) measures inflation in the prices of consumer goods, and it has seen the most significant increases since the Great Recession. This means that demand for services, including hospitality and travel, is on the rise \u2014 a good sign for architects whose employment is often linked to these sectors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This good news is reflected in recent employment statistics, which are also rising in the architecture industry. According to first quarter data, 2,400 new jobs were added in March \u2014 this is the largest monthly increase in nearly one year \u2014 raising the total employment for architectural service to just 3% below where it was before the pandemic.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meanwhile, similar rebounds are reflected in the AIA\u2019s<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aia.org\/pages\/6401805-abi-april-2021-architecture-firm-billings-\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Architecture Billings Index (ABI)<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which, as its title suggests, charts billings in the industry. Any score over 50 represents growth; any score below 50 represents the opposite. This month, the ABI scored its highest levels since before the Great Recession, with scores rising to 57.9. This means that the majority of American firms saw billings increases. In addition, the score that measures Inquiries related to new projects reached 70.8, while newly signed design contracts were valued at 61.7 (another record-breaking \u2014 the best since AIA began collecting data in 2010).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In short, architectural businesses, like many other sectors in the American economy, are well positioned to continue their rebounds in the coming months.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>Now it&#8217;s time to get hired!
