Jobs of Tomorrow
Many people are heeding the advice to return to school and improve their odds of landing a job as well as their pay. However, what jobs will be available in the future? To answer that, you have to look at current trends and think about the momentum they have. Here are some ideas on how the future might look.
Service Industries
The trend has been an increase of service jobs, and that does not show any sign of abating. In fact, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the service industry is expected to grow by leaps and bounds while manufacturing is expected to decline.
Within this category, here are the expected high performers:
• Business services
• Professional services
• Financial services
• Health and education
• Leisure and hospitality
• Information services
• Trade and transporation
• Utilities
Production Industries
Although this sector is expected to decline slightly, some of the subcategories will see an increase. One of those is the construction field, which is expected to increase about 10%. Much of this increase is due to our aging infrastructure, which will need repairs and replacement and a faster rate then previously.
