Air Traffic Controllers Face Slow Growth in 2070 Outlook

Competition will be fierce due to many qualified applicants and few openings, aided by high pay and strong job attachment. Controllers manage takeoffs landings, relay flight data, adjust vectors, monitor weather and fuel needs, and oversee radio and radar equipment at airports and centers.
