Employment of retail sales workers is expected to decline slightly through 2028, according to the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL). Online sales have negatively impacted traditional retail sales jobs, though the DOL notes that the impact has not been as severe for automobile dealers. The American public continues to buy new and used cars, and salespeople are needed to assist them. Workers with excellent sales skills and experience will have the strongest job opportunities.
