Employment Trends

Just as jobs that were hot five years ago may not be that hot today, jobs that are hot today may not be that hot in five years.

While it is difficult to predict various twist and turns the job market may take in the near or far future, there are certain trends that make themselves apparent in the present. By making yourself aware of these trends you are less likely to set yourself up for disappointment if the occupation you are interested in is in serious decline or amidst tough competition.

Not only will trends show demands, they show information such as whether or not those employed in a certain field need more education (i.e. graduate degrees) than a few years ago.
