Industry Review - Whats Growing in America

Industry Review - Whats Growing in America With 9% unemployment nationwide being the new norm, people are looking  at other industries to find work. They may not have experience in their new industry, but you go where the opportunities are. So what new industries are open to American job seekers? Some may surprise you. 1. Green Technologies Managing, scientific and technical jobs abound. The key to getting these jobs is having a background in them, but any new industry will need accountants, marketing personnel and office workers. The industry may have changed but the need for office workers has not. 2. Services for the elderly and health care With so many people approaching retirement, or way past, the health care sector has never looked more promising. Those babyboomers are going to need someone to assist them with their services. These include health care cost, nursing homes and finding work for the elderly, who are still working late into their 70s and 80s. 3. Speech therapist and physical rehabilitation workers The third fastest growing industry also deals with health. But this time its helping people recover from injury or developing needed parts of speech. More children are diagnosed with speech impairments now than ever. This requires people knowledgeable in dealing with these ailments. 4. Data processing, web hosting and online services As the world changes, so does the way that we receive and send information. With almost everyone using the internet as the chosen medium of communication, more people are needed to man the ever increasing data stream. These people range from data processors to people with capabilities maintaining existing infrastructure. Improvements are needed as well, so expect this segment to grow. 5. Computer design and related services Designing user interfaces that work with existing data streams will become even more important as new programs are needed to help workers diagnose problems and troubleshoot. If you are looking for work, dont just limit yourself to only the industry you are comfortable in.  Revisit your resume, look at your skillset and see what other opportunities are out there for someone with your qualifications and experience.
