During busy hours, they are under pressure to serve customers quickly and efficiently. They often work late evenings, on weekends, and on holidays. Part-time work is common, and schedules may vary.\n\n### [How to Become a Bartender](#tab-4)\n\nBartenders typically do not need formal education credentials to enter the occupation. Most states require workers who serve alcoholic beverages to be at least 18 years old. They typically learn their skills on the job.\n\n### [Pay](#tab-5)\n\nThe median hourly wage for bartenders was $15.15 in May 2023.\n\n### [Job Outlook](#tab-6)\n\nEmployment \t\t\t\t\t\t\tof bartenders is projected to grow \t\t\t\t\t\t\t 9 percent from 2023 to 2033, much faster than the average for all occupations.\n\nAbout 134,600 openings for bartenders are projected each year, on average, over the decade. \t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t\t 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.\n\n### [State & Area Data](#tab-7)\n\nExplore resources for employment and wages by state and area for bartenders.\n\n### [Similar Occupations](#tab-8)\n\nCompare the job duties, education, job growth, and pay of bartenders with similar occupations.\n\n### [More Information, Including Links to O*NET](#tab-9)\n\nLearn more about bartenders by visiting additional resources, including O*NET, a source on key characteristics of workers and occupations.\n    ]\n}"}
