For example, the top 10% of disc jockeys earned over $114,000 per year, while the bottom 10% earned less than $28,000 per year. disc jockeys who worked in metropolitan areas tended to earn more than those who worked in rural areas.
The BLS also reports that the employment outlook for disc jockeys is expected to decline by 11% from 2019-2029. This is due to the increasing use of automation in the broadcasting industry.
Despite this, there are still opportunities for disc jockeys to find work in radio, television, and nightclubs.
