Radiologic technologists held about 254,000 jobs in 2020. More than half of these jobs were in hospitals. Most other jobs were in offices of physicians; medical and diagnostic laboratories, including diagnostic imaging centers; and outpatient care centers.

The employment of radiologic technologists is expected to increase by about 9 percent from 2020 to 2030.(Occupational Outlook Handbook 2020 edition) About 20,800 openings for radiologic and MRI technologists are projected each year, on average, over the decade. Many of those openings are expected to result from the need to replace workers who transfer to different occupations or exit the labor force, such as to retire.
