Sectors where job growth exceeds 9% are recording above-average growth. The average is between 5% and 8%. Anything below 5% is considered sluggish growth. But the percentage isn’t the only thing that should be taken into account.
The Department of Labor predicts that wind turbine technician jobs will see a 61% increase in the following years. But if you factor in the current numbers (around 7,000), the overall job gain will be 4,300 jobs. On the other hand, the personal care aides will see a smaller increase of 33.7%. But that translates into 1,159,500 new jobs.
