Logisticians (supply chain managers) analyze and coordinate an organization’s supply chain. The job can be stressful because logistical work is fast-paced. Most logisticians work full time during regular business hours.
In business and finance, supply chain is a system of organizations, people, activities, information, and resources involved in moving a product or service from supplier to customer. Supply chain activities involve the transformation of natural resources, raw materials, and components into a finished product that is delivered to the end customer.
Employment of logisticians is projected to grow 5 percent from 2018 to 2028
, about as fast as the average for all occupations. Employment growth will be driven, in part, by the need for logistics in the transportation of goods in a global economy.
