Today’s Fastest Growing Careers

Seven of the top 10 fastest-growing careers in the U.S. through 2024 will be health-related, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics -- and that's really not really surprising, given the advancements in medicine, longer life spans, and an aging baby boomer population, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. For those considering a career change or who are just entering the job market, not only are healthcare positions plentiful, but they also tend to pay well.

The need for skilled healthcare professionals may not come as a surprise, but some may find it intriguing how few technology-related positions are included in the 30 fastest growing jobs in America. Web Developer is expected to be the 22nd fastest growing career, climbing 26.6% to 188,000 positions to be filled, but that's about it for technology jobs. Here are a few of the other careers expected to lead the employment charge in the coming years.
