Growth
|
Faster than average growth
|
|
Continued growth of e-commerce should increase demand for package delivery services, especially for the large and regional shipping companies. More light truck drivers will be needed to fulfill the growing number of e-commerce transactions. Drone delivery services may also be used for some deliveries over the decade. However, this technology is expected to complement rather than fully replace these workers, so the downward employment effect is expected to be modest.
