SEPTEMBER 25, 2006
Table of Projected Job Openings, 2004-2014 Health care is hot, but it's not the only game in town if you are looking to choose a career. Here is a list of selected professions that someone with a postsecondary education might consider, ranked by the number of projected job openings from 2004 to 2014. These statistics are drawn from labor-market projections by the Bureau of Labor Statistics in November, 2005. (For more, see www.bls.gov/emp/home.htm.) Nurses are at the top of the list, with 1.2 million projected openings in the decade, both from growth in the profession and the need to replace nurses who are retiring or moving into other lines of work. The number of projected openings for doctors is about equal to the number for lawyers and social scientists, good news for those of you who always wanted to go to med school. But what is especially striking about this list is the sheer number of teachers who will be needed in the coming years, at every level. Health care may be the wave of the future, but education isn't far behind.
