Employment of health education specialists is projected to grow 7 percent from 2023 to 2033, faster than the average for all occupations. About 6,700 openings for health education specialists 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.
