Climbing a Ladder in the Sky

Occupations with the largest job growth

According to an article published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics in the January 2012 Monthly Labor Review entitled “Occupational Employment Projections to 2020”; the BLS projects overall employment to increase about 14 percent during the 2010–2020 decade.   Occupations that typically need postsecondary education for entry are projected to grow faster than average, but occupations that typically need a high school diploma or less will continue to represent more than half of all jobs.
