Job outlook data
Interpreters and translators held around 61,000 jobs in 2014, the last year for which data are available. Employment of interpreters and translators is projected to grow 29 percent from 2014 to 2024, reflecting increasing globalization and diversity in the U.S. population.
Because computer-generated translation cannot produce work with the same nuance that human translators achieve, demand will remain strong for this occupation. The ongoing need for military and national security interpreters and translators will also result in more jobs.
