Industries predicted to be most active in hiring

 

According to data gathered by Indeed.com, 11 of 12 major industries are posting more jobs online than a year ago. Indeed.com, which aggregates online job postings, found that the transportation, hospitality, and retail industries are posting the largest increases in job listings over last year. Each had at least 40 percent more job listings in June 2010 than in June 2009, despite the weak improvement in overall employment numbers recently.
Transportation
Transportation industry job postings are up 73 percent from a year ago, including 20,000 new ones since April, making the industry by far the fastest growing of the 12. The top transportation job titles: driver, stocker, and similar shipping- and freight-related positions.
Hospitality
Hospitality has also experienced a jump in online job postings over the last year, specifically in the food service sector.
Retail
The retail industry already had numerous job postings, but those increased by 41 percent in the last year. Customer service positions are by far the most posted jobs in retail, because of the importance to businesses of cost-efficiency and loyalty, says Bill Gessert, president of the International Customer Service Association.
Nonprofit
Development directors responsible for raising money will likely be more valuable than ever.
Green
You can tap into this growing market with a green diploma. Degrees for green jobs range from undergraduate courses in sustainable enterprise management to MBA programs at a variety of institutions.
Financial Services
Believe it or not, financial services are starting to turn around, as companies begin post-recession hiring. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), overall employment of financial analysts is expected to increase by 20 percent over the next decade
Veterinary Services
Predicted growth is in veterinary jobs--"from trainers, vet techs, and veterinarians to doggie day-care owners and groomers
Health Care
"Rising demand is inevitable because of the demographics of an aging population, and unlike other high-growth fields, health care has a very broad variety of occupations.
Salaries often correspond to the worker's level of education. Transcriptionists' salaries hover around $30,000, while a physical therapist with a bachelor's degree can expect to make $67,000.
Education
One particular area poised for growth is teaching English as a second language (ESL or ESOL), because of the rise of foreign-born residents who'll need English instruction over the next five
Funeral industry
Though she predicts that any niche catering to aging baby boomers is a winner, of Seidbet "Beginning in January 2011, 10,000 baby boomers will be turning 65 every day." Funeral directors have the top job (making about $50,000 per year), but the need for attendants to handle arrangements and storage of equipment is expected to rise faster than average, according to the BLS.
