Future employment trends, 2004-2014, for high growth occupations and industries. If technology didn’t make either list, where will all the hot jobs be in coming years?
The advent of the new millennium saw employment trends soar in the technology and science sectors. Programmers, computer engineers and biotechnologists were in high demand. In a world where technology changes daily and business moves at the speed of sound, it would have been a rational prediction to think that for the coming decade, high growth industries and hot jobs would have focused around these industries. However, that does not seem to be the case. The growth reports, which forecasts future employment trends, and published by the US Bureau of Statistics, states otherwise. Outlining the top 10 occupations with the highest job growth rate projections and industries that will experience the highest growth, and the top 10 Industries with the highest anticipated job growth rate; the American employment industry seems to be moving back to its grassroots with a strong focus on working class occupations. In certain employment fields, this is particularly good news as it could signify the end of hiring freezes and cutbacks within the education and healthcare sectors and perhaps alleviate the desperate shortage of qualified teachers, experienced nurses and dedicated auxiliary health care workers. Let's take a look at the facts and figures: Top 10 Occupations with Highest Job Growth Rate Projections (2004-2014)
Top 10 Industries with Highest Projected Job Growth Rates
Some of these figures indicate positive things for the economy in the coming years. Job and industry growth in sectors such as food service, retail sales, colleges and universities, employment services and management consulting are all indications of a stronger economy as more dollars are being spent by consumers who are gainfully employed with a certain degree of disposable income. Obviously the most positive news is the increase in health care and education, with a significant increase in jobs forecasted for home health care workers, registered nurses and teachers and the equal employment growth rate in these related industries. These figures suggest more nurses and health care workers in the system to serve the population. An increase of 37% in doctors offices also supports the notion that the employment sector will be strong with more citizens in a position, either through employment benefits or income, to be able to access private health care. Over the coming weeks, we will be profiling some of these occupations and industries in great detail to determine how new graduates and professional seeking a career change can learn about and benefit from the coming shifts in various employment sectors.
