Architectural job market expected to increase 5% by 2032, U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics says

2023-10-09T18:38:00-04:00

A new report from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics has predicted a period of growth of job seekers in the architectural field, providing a possible sign of hope for the labor market at a time when economic downturn and the rise of artificial intelligence have spurred fears of an employment crisis in the industry within the next decade.

Data that was released in last week’s Economic Outlook Report predicts a 5% increase in the number of architects employed in the overall economy by the year 2032. A total of 8,200 jobs will be added per year over that timespan on average, according to the report. The figures indicate a faster job growth rate for architects versus other occupations in the country. The Bureau says the demand stems mostly from a need to replace workers who will either retire or exit the architectural workforce entirely.

During that time, the total number of architects working in the United States is expected to grow from 123,700 to 129,700. That’s more than the 119,90...

Designing healthier spaces through data: How one firm uses spatial analytics to shape new job opportunities for architects

2022-03-02T09:06:00-05:00

Traditional architecture firms aren't the only viable employers worth exploring as designers and architects continue to navigate the job market.

When applying to jobs, think less of yourself and more of the employer

2020-09-02T14:47:00-04:00

Over time architects develop a distinct ability to solve their client's "problem" in a manner that encompasses their personal touch and creative aptitude. There is a realization that the project is about someone else, but the vehicle and means to realize that project is grounded in the designer. Once the result is realized, there is an inadvertent and unavoidable fingerprint of the creator on the final product, and the dial of success lies greatly in the architect's solving of the design problem at hand.

Previously on Archinect: The Importance of Building Professional Relationships in Architecture

When it comes to applying to a job, this same thinking should be adopted. The application is less about you and more about how you can solve a problem for your future employer. This is a matter of perspective that can crucially change how you think about composing your application package. In one sense — the more common approach — applicants make their job search too personal. They want to...

Is architecture heading toward an unemployment crisis?

2020-04-10T09:00:00-04:00

The latest unemployment figures reported by the federal government show staggering job losses across the country in the wake of the COVID-19-induced economic shutdown.

The US Department of Labor reports that 6.6 million Americans filed initial unemployment claims for the week ending April 4, 2020. Adding the latest number with the weekly figures that have been released over the last month, at least 16 million Americans have lost their jobs. The recent job losses have already exceeded those from the Great Recession, and are likely to grow as additional states begin to put additional shelter-in-place initiatives into place, The New York Times reports.

Groupthink and the Hiring Process

2019-08-15T17:00:00-04:00

The dominant approach to hiring today – in which the hiring manager convenes a huddle and goes around the room hearing opinions on each candidate is particularly prone to groupthink. That is because in free-form discussions, the person with the metaphorical “loudest voice” typically over-influences the committee’s decision.

CEO and author, Atta Tarki, believes the hiring process can be prone to inefficiencies, particularly in group collaboration. He offers some recommendations on "how to make a true group decision:"

First, the hiring team "should not share their interview experiences with each other before the final group huddle." Next, each member of the team should perform these steps before the final group huddle:

distill their interview rating to a single numerical score.
write down their main arguments for and against hiring this person and their final conclusion. This will help them stay true to their beliefs once the discussion starts, which leads to less biased predictions.

And, finally, "the hiring manager should take note of the average score for a candidate." Tarki emphasizes that these scores should not be followed blindly but should instead be used as a process for "richer, unbiased and uncensored discussions." This, coupled with some other components, should lead to a process of more fruitf...
