🩺 Health Care

Looking deeper into Health Care, a recent USAFacts ranking of the fastest growing occupations put several health-related professions near the top of the list.

This included nurse practitioner (+46.3% projected growth rate from 2023-2033), physician assistant (+28.5%), and physical therapist assistant (+25.4%).

Veterinary care is also expected to grow significantly, with technician and laboratory roles expected to grow by 19%. As of 2024, nearly 60 million U.S. households are estimated to own dogs.

🚚 Transportation & Warehousing

The next fastest growing job sector is Transportation & Warehousing, which is likely due to the continued growth of e-commerce. In 2024, e-commerce sales exceeded $1.19 trillion, up from just $261 billion in 2013.

Online shopping has significantly increased the demand for storage and logistics, which leads to more jobs in fulfillment centers, distribution hubs, and delivery solutions.

Efforts to bring manufacturing back to the U.S. could also boost this sector’s employment even further.
