Best Future Jobs to 2016

The best future jobs for the next several years will continue to be registered nurses, post-secondary educators, computer software applications engineers, and management analysts – this according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Outlook of 2008-09.  The projected job growth for registered nurses is a staggering 587,000 new positions (projected growth from 2006 – 2016).  A distant second place was for post-secondary education teachers, creating an expected 382,000 new jobs.

Of all the top ten positions with the most net job growth for those positions considered to be above average pay there were none that didn’t require at least some post secondary education.  It then remains of critical importance for young people with a desire to get higher paying jobs to continue their education.   Even the construction worker jobs with above average pay all require additional education (heavy machine operation or truck driving).  The point is clear – higher earning jobs require higher education.  The best future jobs according to the BLS study demonstrate that very clearly.
