What are the fasting growing occupations? Below is a table published by U.S. Bureau of
Labor Statistics. Here what I conclude
from this table?
·
Many jobs do not require college degrees.
·
Healthcare related occupations appear to be attractive.
·
Construction and trades jobs are in demand.
·
I am surprised that
technology jobs do not make the list.
Fastest growing occupations
This table also can be found in the
article, "Occupational Employment Projections to 2020," published in
