The jobs of the future
December 6, 2007
We’re going to need more makeup artists in the future (high-def TV, you know). Financial advisors, too. By the year 2016, we’ll be crawling with ‘em.
At least, according to the Department of Labor, which released a 10-year forecast for the hottest 30 occupations in the near future.
Of note: information technology folks (of course), home health care workers (to care for aging Baby Boomers).
Of interest: theatrical and performance makeup artists, veterinarians and gaming surveillance officers.
Other expectations: minorities will make up a greater percentage of the workforce, and seniors will work longer.
