Top 10 Careers this Decade

With a new year comes predictions for the new year and the decade ahead.

With the country hovering at the 10% unemployment mark, it’s time we looked for a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Even when everyone talks of the doom and gloom of the current economy you can always uncover things that are good if you look hard enough. It pays to know where the jobs are in the future and then you can decide if your job is one that will still be needed 10 years from now or if you should make a change.

If you don’t see your profession in this list you might want to visit the BLS to see where your current job is headed.

Lets have a look at what the experts are saying will be the top 10 occupations that will offer the greatest number of jobs over the next decade:

  1. Registered Nurse
  2. Home Health Aide
  3. Customer Service Representatives
  4. Food Preparation and Serving Workers
  5. Personal and Home Care Aides
  6. Retail Salespersons
  7. Office Clerks
  8. Accountants
  9. Nursing Aides
  10. Post-Secondary Teachers

What didn’t make the top 10 list but is showing signs of growth are jobs in the trucking industry.
