As America\u2019s economic and demographic landscape undergoes changes, the job market usually follows suit. Thus, in the last decade, some of the most transformative events for the labor market were represented by the massive growth of the tech industry; the growing population of Baby Boomer retirees; and the growing significance of green technologies and sustainability. Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic added the adoption of remote work and hybrid work for a significant number of workers.<\/p>\n

So, to better gauge the effects of these factors and more on the job market, CommercialCafe set out to rank the fastest-growing jobs in the U.S. using the latest data provided by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).<\/p>\n

Green Energy Jobs See Accelerated Growth in Last Decade<\/h2>\n

According to a previous study by CommercialCafe, the amount of energy provided by solar panels in the U.S. skyrocketed from just 1.2 million megawatt hours (MWH) in 2010 to 91 million MWH in 2020. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that the number of photovoltaic installers also increased from 4,710 in 2012 to 16,420 last year \u2014 an increase of nearly 250%.<\/p>\n

Likewise, the second-fastest-growing job also came from the green energy sector: Wind turbine service technicians increased in number from 3,200 at the beginning of the surveyed period to 10,100 last year for a 216% increase in 10 years. Although these jobs are almost exclusively on-site, the largest growth was actually witnessed in recent years, despite the situation generated by the pandemic.<\/p>\n

Healthcare Jobs See Sustained Growth as Baby Boomers Retire<\/h2>\n

Another sector that has seen a consistent rise in number of employees in the last 10 years is healthcare. Of course, the causes are multi-faceted with the most common being the aging Baby Boomer population, as well as a general increase in interest in the industry.<\/p>\n

Specifically, prosthodontists saw the largest increase in number of workers among all healthcare-related jobs, as well as the third-largest increase overall. Other medical professions with large increases included ophthalmic medical technicians (125%), nurse practitioners (122%) and hearing aid specialists (117%) \u2014 all jobs with some degree of relation to senior care.<\/p>\n

Alternatively, other jobs unrelated to green energy and healthcare that witnessed large increases included: merchandise displayers (117%); financial examiners (117%); information security analysts (116%); and manicurists and pedicurists (93%).<\/p>\n
