Paperhangers
Job Information

Information
- Most workers learn informally on the job as helpers, but some experts recommend completion of an apprenticeship program.
- Employment prospects for painters should be excellent due to the large numbers of workers who leave the occupation for other jobs; paperhangers will face very limited opportunities.
- About 45 percent of painters and paperhangers are self-employed.
