This occupation should decline in comparison to the average for other occupations in Indiana. National Outlook Nationally, employment of radio and TV service technicians is expected to decline through 2008. The number of televisions, radios, CD players, and other home electronics is expected to increase over the next eight years. However, this equipment should be more reliable in the past. In addition, many pieces have been designed to be serviced easily.
Some equipment is so cheap, that people buy new items rather than pay to repair it.
This will also decrease the demand for these workers. Even though this occupation is decreasing in size, there will be many job opportunities. Many service technicians leave this job and transfer to other higher-paying electronics occupations. Preparation Most employers prefer applicants with formal training in electronics. Public and private post secondary vocational schools, and technical institutes offer electronics training.
