| Data: Bureau of Labor Statistics |
Consider
the 10 jobs that the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) expects to
grow fastest from 2016 to 2026, shown in the chart below. This is based
on a recently released report
and only includes jobs that more than 20,000 people currently perform.
For context, jobs overall are projected to grow by only 7.4% over this
time period.
Two of these things are not like the others.
Of the 10 jobs the BLS expects to grow the fastest in the next decade,
only statistician and software application developer are not in the
healthcare/elder-care industry...
Another occupation dealing with data—”Computer and information research
scientist”—is expected to be one of the fastest growing in the coming
decade, expanding by almost 20%. Statisticians and computer and
informational research scientists make up a large share people who do
the computational work often called “data science.”
