For the premier article in Hiring Opportunities, I thought it would be a great idea to lay a foundation for future articles. Future Hiring Trends is a broad-spectrum article that covers future trends in employment including anticipated growth for the 10 hot jobs and 10 employment industries with the greatest projected growth rate from now through to 2014.
What is interesting to note is that according to the Bureau of Statistics, anticipated growth in big industries like technology and pharmaceuticals did not make the list. Neither did careers such as computer engineers, medical sales, and early childhood education workers where demand is currently high and yet still apparently underserved. Instead, the trend seems to be heading towards a more grassroots America.
I wonder why? Perhaps it is because our everyday lives, both personal and professional, are so enmeshed with technology and technological applications, that the underlying truth is that the IT industry is a part of all industries today. It could also be aruged that although core hi-tech positions or industries did not make either list; it is the technology and computer industries that in part are responsible for growth in other employment sectors.
