This is actually a very interesting question, and one that not many people ask until they are in the field. The average age of a government contractor is 45 and it has remained pretty stable over the years, despite an increase in the number of young contractors. This is likely due to the fact that many older contractors have extensive experience and networks that give them an advantage over their younger counterparts. As the number of baby boomers retire, the average age of a government contractor is expected to increase, The future of the contracting industry looks bright, however, as there is a growing demand for contractor services, especially ever since the multi-trillion dollar infrastructure bill passed by President Biden. Furthermore, with an aging population and a shrinking workforce, government agencies will increasingly rely on contractors to provide the goods and services they need. Government contractors are vital to the function of many government agencies, providing services and products that the government cannot produce on its own. Contractors range in size from large corporations to sole proprietorships, and they can be found in every state and territory. While the majority of contractors are based in the Washington, D.C. area, there is a growing number of contractors who work remotely.
