THE PRIVATE INVESTIGATION INDUSTRY- 101

by Joe Alercia II

My thoughts and opinions in my writings
evoke forty four years of day in and day
out in this business; therefore, some of the
readers may or may not agree with some
of my statements. However, I do have the

intense experience via due diligence and
deep probing research trade craft under
my belt. According to the U.S Bureau of
Labor Statistics, Occupational Outlook
Handbook; Employment of private detec-
tives and investigators is projected to grow
11 percent from 2012 to 2022, about as fast
as the average for all occupations. Demand
for private detectives and investigators will
stem from security concerns and the need
to protect conidential information. Strong Courtesy of Joe Alercia II of Lion Investigation Academy
