Surveyors, cartographers, photogrammetrists, and surveying technicians held about 124,000 jobs in the US in 2003.

Land surveyors and technicians often stand for long periods. They have to climb hills and walk long distances. They carry heavy packs of instruments and equipment. They face all types of weather when they are outside.
