U.S. to add 6.7M jobs in next decade; these titles expected to see most job growth

New York’s Staten Island — The occupations that are anticipated to have the greatest demand in the upcoming years may be of interest to those searching for a new career.

Over the next ten years, from 2023 to 2033, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that the U.S. economy will create around 6.8 million new jobs.

The healthcare sector will drive a large portion of job growth since the nation’s increasingly aging population will need more medical attention.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the number of Americans aged 65 and over climbed by an astounding 38.6% between 2010 and 2020, from about 40.3 million in 2010 to 55.8 million in 2020.

Home health and personal care aides are predicted to experience the highest rate of job growth due to the growing number of elderly people that need to be cared for; during the next ten years, an additional 820,500 positions are anticipated to become available.

More than 100,000 new positions are anticipated to be generated in the healthcare sector, including those for registered nurses, medical and health services managers, and nurse practitioners.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, these ten job titles are anticipated to expand at the fastest rate during the next ten years.
