The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the median annual wage for application developers is $103,620 (May 2018). The profession is projected to grow 26 percent in the period 2018-2028, which is well above the national average for all occupations. The primary reason for this healthy outlook is the continuous demand for computer software, as consumers are expected to seek newer and better applications for their smart phones, tablets, and other devices. Additionally, industries such as health and insurance will continue to demand more innovative products that improve the efficiency of their digital platforms.

Candidates who wish to become application developers must first complete a bachelor's degree in computer science or a similar subject. Knowledge in computer programming is also a big plus in this profession, which has a bright future.
