CHICAGO – June 4, 2015 – Looking to find a new job, make a career change or declare a major? CareerBuilder released a new list of industries that are expected to add jobs at an accelerated pace from 2014 to 2019. The study is based on data from Economic Modeling Specialists Intl (EMSI), CareerBuilder’s labor market analysis arm that pulls data from over 90 national and state employment resources.
The U.S. is projected to create roughly 8 million jobs from 2014 to 2019 – a 5 percent increase – though a significant number of industries will likely experience a greater percentage gain during this period.
“Around one third of all U.S. industries are expected to outperform the national average for employment growth over the next five years,” said Matt Ferguson, CEO of CareerBuilder and co-author of The Talent Equation. “While it’s not surprising that technology and health care made the list, the accumulation of new jobs will take place within a diverse mix of industries requiring a broad range of skills and experience.”
The following industries are among those that are projected to add at least 10,000 jobs and experience at least 15 percent growth in employment over the next five years:
