Are jobs in this industry on the rise? Are there any sub-sectors that are growing?

Where are the jobs? Which places have the most plumber opportunities?

i think alot of the plumbing jobs are going to do-it-yourselfers and handyman-gone-pro. I think you would be better served to be an Electrician or an HVAC mechanic. Also, I think people can put up with alot more when the water doesn't work versus not having lights at nigh or ac in the summer. Now service work, clogged toilets and plugged sewer lines, that is different than plumbing construction. It is service work and it does pay well.

Mark, look at this and click on the video and see if you want a handyman doing plumbing on your house. Everyone needs to see this.
