Final Thoughts

Working in commercial banking offers a high average salary and plenty of career mobility. While employment in commercial banking declined by 0.7% from 2016-2021, certain jobs in the industry are more insulated from these changes than others.

Loan officers, branch managers, and mortgage bankers aren’t going anywhere anytime soon, and their job outlooks project that. But bank tellers have a bleaker future, with nearly 50,000 fewer positions available by 2030 compared with 2020.
