The
following occupations are expected to continue growing at an above-average
rate through the year 2008. Note that half of these jobs (48%) are in
the healthcare industry and require advanced training.
Being
included in the fastest growing occupations list does not imply that these
are all good fields to enter. For example, home health aides and
childcare workers are both included on this list, yet people who work in
these fields almost always earn meager salaries, work in stressful
conditions, and have little opportunity for advancement.
