This document provides projections of occupational employment growth from 2014 to 2024 according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Healthcare occupations are expected to see the fastest growth and add the most new jobs. Personal care aides and registered nurses are projected to have the largest employment increases, gaining over 400,000 jobs each. Many job openings over this period will come from needing to replace retiring or leaving workers rather than new positions.

Projections of occupational employment, 2014–24 December 2015 When it comes to making career decisions, reliable information about employment prospects is key. The charts in this article can help; they show employment change in occupations between 2014 and 2024 as projected by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). Occupations classify jobs according to the type of work performed. For example, people who help retail customers find and buy products are in the occupation of retail salespersons. These charts show projections by major occupational group and detailed occupation. Between 2014 and 2024, overall employment is projected to grow by about 7 percent. The dotted vertical line in charts 1 and 4 show the overall growth rate.
- 5. www.Hub.Careers 05 Free Career eBooks! Many of these charts also show median annual wages, the point at which half of the workers earned more than the amount and half earned less. In May 2014, the median annual wage for all workers was $35,540. Wages of self-employed workers are not included. (For more information on interpreting the charts, understanding wage data, and how we develop the projections, read about our methodology.) Growth by major occupational group To illustrate general employment trends, these charts show employment growth in broad groups of similar occupations. The federal government classifies workers into groups using the 2010 Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system. Occupational groups related to healthcare are projected to have the fastest em- ployment growth. (See chart 1.)

Growth by detailed occupation BLS projects employment for 819 detailed occupations. Those projected to have the fastest growth, most new jobs, and largest number of job openings are high- lighted in these charts. Another chart shows the occupations that are projected to have the most job losses. Some occupations that have fast growth rates have a relatively small number of workers, as is the case with wind turbine service technicians and commercial divers. These small, fast-growing occupations may not have as many new jobs as some larger occupations that are projected to have average growth, such as gener- al and operations managers and maids and housekeeping cleaners.
