What you can expect to experience while on the job
Employment of bill and account collectors is projected to decline 9 percent from 2020 to 2030. Despite declining employment, about 20,800 openings for bill and account collectors are projected each year, on average, over the decade. All of those openings are expected to result from the need to replace workers who transfer to other occupations or exit the labor force, such as to retire.
