See the discussion of the employment projections table in the Handbook introductory chapter on Occupational Information Included in the Handbook. NOTE: Passenger rail service is anticipated to increase volume on pace with the growing population, as are public transit authorities. Employment of subway and streetcar operators will see average growth due to increased demand for light-rail transportation systems around the country. Job Prospects. Opportunities for rail transportation workers will be Favorable as a large number of older workers are expected to retire over the next decade. Other workers will leave the occupation for various personal and professional reasons, creating further opportunities. Prospects will be best for those positions that are also expected to see growth, for example locomotive engineers and conductors. There will also be job opportunities for those positions that are expected to decline, for example brake, signal, and switch operators. These openings will be the result of retirements and other separations. Entry-level occupations such as brake operator and conductor should be plentiful for applicants with clean drug and criminal records. Opportunities for long-distance train crews are also expected to be good as many of those working in the yards prefer not to travel long distances. Median hourly earnings of rail transportation occupations in May 2006 are indicated in the tabulation below. These earnings were relatively high, compared to $12.17 per hour for all transportation occupations. Locomotive engineers $27.88 Railroad conductors and yardmasters $26.70 Subway and streetcar operators $23.55 Railroad brake, signal, and switch operators $23.49 Most railroad transportation workers are paid according to miles traveled or hours worked, whichever leads to higher earnings. Factors such as seniority, job assignments, and location impact potential earnings. Seventy-four percent of railroad transportation workers are members of unions compared to 12 percent for all occupations. Many different railroad unions represent various crafts on the railroads. Among the largest of the railroad employee unions are the United Transportation Union and the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen. Many subway operators are members of the Amalgamated Transit Union, while others belong to the Transport Workers Union of North America.

RESERVATION AND TRANSPORTATION TICKET AGENTS Projections data from the National Employment Matrix Occupational title SOC Code Employment, 2006 Projected employment, 2016 Change, 2006-16 Detailed statistics Number Percent Reservation and transportation ticket agents and travel clerks 43-4181 165,000 167,000 1,800 1 PDF zipped XLS     NOTE: Data in this table are rounded. See the discussion of the employment projections table in the Handbook introductory chapter on Occupational Information Included in the Handbook. NOTE: Employment of reservation and transportation ticket agents and travel clerks is expected to show little or no growth during the projection period. Additionally, applicants for these jobs are likely to encounter keen competition. Employment Change. Employment of reservation and transportation ticket agents is expected grow only 1 percent from 2006 to 2016, reflecting "Little Or No Change To Employment" . Despite a growing and more mobile population who will likely travel more frequently, newer automated reservations and ticketing operations will speed transaction time and reduce the need for more workers to handle the expected higher volume of business. Most train stations and airports now have self-service ticket printing machines, or kiosks, which enable passengers to make reservations, purchase tickets, and check-in for train rides and flights themselves. Many passengers also are able to check travel times and fares, make reservations, purchase tickets, and check-in for most domestic flights on the Internet. Nevertheless, not all travel-related passenger services can be fully automated, primarily for safety and security reasons, and not all passengers use these automated services. As a result, job openings will continue to become available as increasing numbers of people travel more frequently. Additional growth will result to meet the travel needs of the growing retirement population, particularly in less traditional transportation centers, such as with boat or cruise operators or with companies who rent recreational vehicles. Job Prospects. Job applicants often Facing Competition for these jobs, because entry requirements are relatively low and benefits for those who like to travel, particularly on the airlines, are high. Applicants who have previous experience in the travel industry, in sales, or in customer service should have the best job prospects. Those who possess a pleasant personality and strong customer service skills also should have good job opportunities. Additional job opportunities will result from the need to replace workers who transfer to other occupations, retire, or leave the labor force altogether. Employment in these occupations may fluctuate with the economy. During recessions, discretionary passenger travel often declines, and transportation service companies are less likely to hire new workers and may institute layoffs. Median annual earnings of reservation and transportation ticket agents and travel clerks in May 2006 were $28,540. The middle 50 percent earned between $21,640 and $38,540. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $17,670, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $45,400. Many employers offer discounts on travel services to their employees. In May 2006, median annual earnings in the industries employing the largest number of agents were: Scheduled air transportation $32,850 Traveler accommodation $23,630 Travel arrangement and reservation services $22,630 For the latest wage information: The above wage data are from the Occupational Employment Statistics (OES) survey program, unless otherwise noted.

RAILROAD CLASIFICATION Class I Railroads: Account for 67% of the industry’s mileage, 90% of its employees, and 93% of its freight revenue. They operate in many states and concentrate largely (but not exclusively) on long-haul, high-density intercity traffic lanes. There are seven Class I railroads: BNSF, CSX, Grand Trunk Corporation (owned by Canadian National), Kansas City Southern, Norfolk Southern, Soo Line (owned by Canadian Pacific), and Union Pacific. Regional Railroads: Operate at least 350 miles and/or have revenue of between $40 million and the Class I threshold. There were 33 regional railroads in 2007. They typically operate 400 to 650 miles in two to four states and have 75 to 500 employees. Local Railroads: Operate less than 350 miles and earn less than $40 million per year; the vast majority operate fewer than 75 miles in a single state and earn less than $5 million per year. There were 324 local linehaul railroads in 2007. Switching and Terminal Railroads: Primarily provide switching and/or terminal services. Rather than point-to-point transportation, they usually perform pick up and delivery services within a specified area, or funnel traffic between other railroads. In 2007, there were 199 S&T railroads. The overwhelming majority of U.S. freight railroads are privately-owned and operate on tracks that are owned, built, and maintained by the railroads themselves. From 1980 to 2008, railroads re-invested some $440 billion of their own funds on locomotives, freight cars, tracks, bridges, tunnels and other infrastructure. Railroads have been re-investing record amounts back into their systems, and they are committed to continuing to make the substantial investments a first class rail system requires

RAILROADS: TRANSPORTATION BACKBONE OF AMERICA From one end of the country to the other, the United States is connected by the most efficient, affordable, and environmentally-responsible freight rail system in the world. The seven large “Class I” railroads, in conjunction with hundreds of smaller railroads, provide world-class rail service to towns and cities throughout the country. From the food on our tables to the cars we drive to the shoes on our children’s feet, freight railroads carry the things America depends on. All told, railroads account for 43 percent of intercity freight volume — more than any other mode of transportation. Nearly half of America’s electricity comes from coal, and 70 percent of coal is delivered by rail. Railroads also safely carry enormous amounts of chemicals, plastic resins, and fertilizers; cement, sand, and crushed stone; autos and auto parts; steel and other metal products; lumber; paper products; and much more. Intermodal — shipping containers and truck trailers moving on railroads — has been the fastest growing rail traffic segment over the past 20 years, and now accounts for nearly as much rail revenue as coal. Talk about taking trucks off the road! Saving America Money. Based on revenue per ton-mile (a surrogate for rail rates), average U.S. freight rail rates fell 49 percent from 1981 to 2008. This means the average shipper can ship two rail cars for about the same price it paid to move one 25 years ago. What other industry can make a claim like this? According to World Bank data, average U.S. freight rail rates are half those in China and Japan, and 50 to 75 percent below those in major European countries. Essential to a Greener, More Energy-Efficient Future These days, every industry is looking to “go green,” but America’s freight railroads have been “going green” for decades. In 2008, they moved a ton of freight an average of 457 miles per gallon of fuel (up from 436 miles in 2007). If just 10 percent of the longdistance freight that moves by truck moved by rail instead, fuel savings would exceed one billion gallons per year. Greenhouse gas emissions are directly related to fuel consumption. That means that moving freight by rail instead of truck reduces greenhouse gas emissions by twothirds or more — without negatively affecting the economy. Railroad Regulation: A Remarkable “Before and After” Story. Railroads were the first U.S. industry subject to widespread federal economic regulation. For nearly 100 years, Washington bureaucrats held a tight grip on rail operations. Largely because of excessive regulation, by the 1970s U.S. freight railroads were on the brink of ruin. Bankruptcies were common, service was poor, and tracks and equipment were falling apart because railroads couldn’t afford the cost of upkeep. Railroads could not provide the efficient, reliable transportation that America needed. In 1980, Congress wisely recognized the need for change and passed the Staggers Rail Act. Staggers ushered in a new era. Suddenly, railroads had the freedom to decide for themselves — rather than have Washington decide for them — what routes to use, what services to offer, and what prices to charge. The more balanced and reasonable regulatory environment created by Staggers has been a great success for rail shippers, railroads — and, most importantly — the public at large. Thanks to Staggers, railroad productivity has skyrocketed — and most of the resulting savings have been passed on to shippers in the form of sharply lower rail rates. Unlike trucks, barges, and airlines, U.S. freight railroads operate almost exclusively on tracks they build, maintain, and pay for themselves. From 1980 to 2008, railroads re-invested $440 billion back into their systems to create a safe, reliable system second to none in the world. Under Staggers, regulators retained authority to protect shippers against unreasonable railroad conduct. Regulators still have this authority today. This ensures that freight rail is fair and competitive, and that railroads are held accountable for their actions. In the Future, Having Enough Rail Capacity Will Be Key. America’s demand for safe, dependable freight transportation will skyrocket in the years ahead. Though freight railroads are already re-investing record amounts of their own funds back into their systems, they cannot keep up with this demand on their own. How can policymakers help ensure that America has the rail capacity it needs? By implementing targeted tax incentives for projects that revitalize and expand rail capacity; by forming more partnerships with railroads; and by maintaining the existing regulatory balance that protects shippers and consumers against anti-competitive railroad behavior while giving railroads the freedom to operate in the competitive marketplace. NOTE: Average Inflation-Adjusted U.S. Freight Railroad Rates Are Half What They Were in 1981 NOTE: Preliminary Source AAR: (Class I Revenue Per Ton-Mile, All Commodities) Railroad rates are down 49% since the Staggers Act restored reasonable balance to railroad regulation.
