Transportation Employment: 2024

Figure

This pie chart illustrates the distribution of transportation-related employment in 2024. 6.9 million workers were employed in transportation-related occupations outside the transportation and warehousing sector. 4.1 million workers were employed in transportation-related occupations within the transportation and warehousing sector. 4.0 million workers were employed in nontransportation-related industries. 3.3 million workers were employed in other occupations within the transportation and warehousing secto

Notes:

In 2024, total employment in transportation-related occupations (all sectors) was 11.0 million. Total employment in the transportation and warehousing sector was 7.4 million. Data do not include self-employed or independent contractors and, therefore, differ from the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ occupational employment projections (https://www.bls.gov/emp/), which include these workers. Totals differ because occupational statistics were collected from a different survey than the survey used to collect annual industrial employment. Transportation-related occupations refer to these occupations.

This pie chart is from the 2025 Transportation Statistics Annual Report.
