The futures field is small but growing worldwide. Our best estimate is that around 2,000 professionals make their living as full-time futurists, although not all call themselves futurists.
Many are consulting futurists, others are educational futurists. Organizational futurists fill positions as foresight professionals, strategic planners, forecasters, market researchers, new business developers, and even ideation leaders. Futures thinking is becoming commonplace in organizations ranging from Fortune Global 1000 companies to consultancies to government agencies, non-profits, and educational institutions.
