These are the following industries and specialty areas that are the most likely to grow rapidly and strongly in the immediate future.
Consulting: Management, technology, and scientific-related areas will proliferate.
Elderly Services: As “boomers” reach senior citizenship and enjoy good health, a wide variety of services will need staff.
Therapy: The areas of physical, occupational, and speech therapy are the most promising for opportunities.
EDP and Internet Hosting and Publishing: As mainstream readers move from the printed word to electronic news and information, hosting and publishing job opportunities should dramatically increase.
Home Health Care: As the population ages and health insurance companies tighten their budgets, home health care opportunities expand.
Cable and Satellite Programming: As the over-the-air networks face more quality competition from cable and satellite sources, job opportunities should continue an upward trend.
Computer Systems Design: Computer speed, power, and ability continues to increase and become intrinsic to all industries. While hardware design continues to provide opportunities, overall systems design is growing at a fast rate. The integration of hardware and software, particularly in the medical field, will accelerate new job opportunities.
Mental Health Services (non-physician): Non-psychiatric and physician services should hold steady (yet, still strong), but support service requirements should expand job prospects.
General Merchandise Retail: Brick and mortar retail stores should offer expanding job opportunities. Lower-level positions do not carry high compensation, but openings should abound as a good source of employment, particularly for younger members of the work force.
Outpatient Care: As medical procedures improve, in-patient hospital care necessities decline, making outpatient care job prospects ever brighter. Many procedures formally required multiple hospital residence. The success of arthroscopic surgery and non-invasive treatments allow more people to be fully treated as outpatients.
Other Health Practitioners: Health care is and will continue to gain importance for all ages. Support services need qualified professionals to maintain a high standard of care.
Medical and Diagnostic Laboratories: Superior health care depends on timely, accurate laboratory procedures. As diagnosis becomes more precise and effective, laboratory technicians and administrators enjoy many new job opportunities.
Employment Firms: When job opportunities are scarce, top employment firms, like Kelly Services, often control the best, most lucrative openings. During strong economies, good employment firms typically still offer the majority of the most promising job opportunities.
Waste Treatment: While it doesn’t have a high degree of “bling,” waste treatment companies should offer lucrative job opportunities in the coming years. As the population increases, the available land decreases, and concern for environmentally-friendly processes predominate, waste treatment enjoys expanding industry status.
Physician’s Offices and Administration: Along with the need for new physicians and registered nurses, the strong demand for health care will create expanding opportunities for assistants and administrators in medical offices.
Community and Personal Care Services: Social responsibility and personal care are becoming more important; the need for workers should continue to increase.
Facilities Support Services: As more companies “go green,” protecting the environment gains importance. Facilities management and support will generate new, exciting career options.
Administrative and Information Services: These areas, always important, suffered some stagnation during the recent recession. However, after frequent downsizing activities and the growing need for information sources, these industries will hunger for competent employees.
Chiropractors: The need for medical services combined with patient desires for effective treatment project to grow the chiropractic opportunities.
Software Publishers: You may initially question software development as a growth industry since it’s been near the top of the list for the past two decades. However, new software functions and features will generate even more opportunities in the coming years.
Education Support Services: While the need for pure educators should remain stable, support service opportunities project to increase as needs become more complex.
Passenger Transportation (air and surface): Air and road transportation continues to increase. Travelers require a myriad of services, both direct and indirect, to help get them to their destinations.
Daycare (juvenile and adult): As more women increase responsibility in the workforce and the population ages, daycare for both groups offer new opportunities to workers.
Independent Writers and Artists: The volume of websites, interactive and informational, continues to increase demand for words and entertainment. Independent writers and other artists enjoy an ever-increasing number of opportunities.
Optometric and Dental Services: The combination of an aging population and a general desire to be healthier while “looking good” will generate increased job options for eye and dental care.
These are the industries that offer new and exciting job opportunities now and in the coming year.
