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

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.
