According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median annual wage for management occupations was $102,450 in May 2021, which was the highest wage of all the major occupational groups. The employment of management occupations is projected to grow 9 percent from 2020 to 2030, which will result in about 906,800 new jobs. Employment growth is expected to be driven by the formation of new organizations and expansion of existing ones, which should require more workers to manage these operations.
