Employment of jewelers and precious stone and metal workers is projected to decline 4 percent from 2023 to 2033. About 5,400 openings for jewelers and precious stone and metal workers are projected each year, on average, over the decade. Many of those openings are expected to result from the need to replace workers who transfer to different occupations or exit the labor force, such as to retire.
