According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment for bartenders is expected to grow 8 percent from 2018 to 2028.
This is explained, in part, by population and income growth.
Additional jobs may also stem from the need of replacing workers who leave the occupation each year.
However, if you want to work at an upscale restaurant or bar you should be ready to face strong competition; graduating from a bartending school or having previous experience will give you an advantage over the other candidates.
