* The CJDS career outlook was completed by a trained economist with a MBA from Chicago’s Booth School of Business. The analysis looked at multitude of sources, trends and factors to compile its outlook for each state’s overall and criminal justice employment prospects outlook. We hope this effort helps you in your assessment. Overall, criminal justice careers are mostly tied to Federal, State and Local government budget, hiring and replacement (retirement, turnover) needs. The good news is that during the downturn, Federal Stimulus and the need to offset private sector job loss usually means relatively better prospects for government, and hence, criminal justice career prospects. But, this story varies dramatically state-by-state and you should leverage our analysis to help you make the best decision — be that investing in criminal justice degree in your area or looking for an area to move where prospects are best. No matter the area, a criminal justice degree will provide an edge.
