Among the jobs in demand today in the United States include medical and health services, business, technology, and education. Registered nurses lead the group of the fast-growing job as shown from the latest Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) report.
In the labor review of BLS, the overall employment will boost to fourteen percent (14%) in ten years starting 2010. The Employment Projection Program of the United States Department of Labor reveals that over half a million new jobs are expected for the four leading jobs including registered nurses, retail salespersons, home health aides, and personal care aides. Occupations that require post secondary education will grow faster than the average. On the other hand, occupations that need high school diploma for entry will represent more than half of the jobs. The occupations that are said to have the largest job growth are composed mainly of personal care, health care, community service, and social service.
Health Care and Medical Careers
Considering all the facts and factors, medical career would probably increase over the next ten years. Health-related services such as nurses would always be an in demand career since they serve as assistants of doctors and other high-level health care professionals for every task and medical procedures. As a result, pathologists, physicians, therapists, veterinarians, and other professions using uniforms scrubs; have also growth potential.

Like in medicine, careers in the field of technology will also grow faster due to innovations and progression especially in telecommunications and microelectronics. Consequently, information technology analysts, computer specialists, system engineers, and software architects will expand to enhance information services and invent more gadgets for people’s convenience.
Financial Services
In another point of view, certified public accountants and financial advisers will also increase in the next decade. Financial services will grow especially in commerce and legal matters since more investors and private business sectors rely on them.
Field of Education
There will also be a rapid increase for educators as number of enrollees starting from pre-schools get bigger and bigger. The demand for education and social services will increase as well because of the overpopulation issues today.
Technical Positions
Technical jobs are also part of the list. The reason is that applicants for this positions are not required to be a college degree holder although certifications are still needed for entry. Physical therapist assistants, veterinary technicians, and dental hygienists will be in demand after ten years. Physical therapist assistants develop, document, and modify treatments according to the needs of patient. Dental hygienists do the oral procedures and x-rays other than cleaning of the teeth. Veterinarian technicians take blood and tissue samples, prepare vaccines, and perform medical test.
Career in Business
The last but not the list is the business service jobs such as environment health specialist and construction estimator. This field of work is essential to the United States’ economy for this is the one that determines the success and failure of a specific project, particularly the estimators.
Normally, life evolves and this affects the status of every career. However, it is still important to know what field of career is in demand today and in the future to determine the specific line of job you are going to pursue for the time to come.

Here are some of the careers that will never let you sweat and ironically will make you relax and worry free. These jobs are surely the easiest and the most wonderful careers that you may want to pursue. Check them out:
Pro sleeper
Qunar, a Chinese travel review site, has hired three secret reviewers this year to assess the thread count, wi-fi strength, slipper softness, and room service at top hotels throughout the country. Meanwhile, Travelodge employs a full-time bed guru to nap in all of the national hotel chain’s rooms, testing the quality of each mattress. In 2006, that guy earned close to six figures. Generally, expect to earn $1,500 a month.
Chocolate eater
At Godiva, chocolate testers are trained like sommeliers for the job, learning to inspect for sheen and cracks, taking “bunny sniffs” for aroma notes, and savoring the texture of up to 50 bonbons a day. Food testers can earn anywhere from $24,000 up to $70,000, depending on the company. It may sound easy to do, but it’s a hard job to get. Godiva tasters go to “chocolate school” to qualify, while other companies require “super-tasters,” those born with uniquely potent taste-buds. The only downside of this job, is an overindulgent chocolate craving that may lead one to a hospital with people in nurse uniforms working.
Cute pet aggregator
For most of us, kitten ogling is for break-time. But if you’re a web editor for Cute Overload or a casting agent at True Entertainment, the production company behind Animal Planet’s “Too Cute” you have to comb through adorable footage and photos of sloths, kittens, and puppies for a living. The average salary of an entry level staffer for a cute-animal site can range from $10 an hour to $40,000 a year depending on location, company and responsibilities.
Mansion sitter
It’s actually possible to live like a millionaire on $10,000 a year. One couple spent winter in the Pyranees and summer in Antibes, skimming leaves from their private pool, walking dogs, and chasing away burglars by simply occupying one mansion or another. Veteran house-sitters with killer reputations can charge around $200 a week to mind the mansion, that’s in addition to room and board. For newbies, there’s Luxuryhousesitting.com, a site that connects wanderers with high-end property owners in Florida, California, even Malta and the Virgin Islands.
TV watcher
There’s a solid market for this gig. Fast-typing fingers can earn you a starting salary of $25,000 to caption TV shows for the hearing impaired as you watch them. Production assistants for clip shows like “Talk Soup” spend their days flipping channels in search of potential segments to pass along to producers, earning a few hundred a week. At Nielson, a team of media researchers stay glued to the tube, 8 hours a day, $10 an hour, watching out for any product placements across networks.
Professional know-it-all
YouTube’s partner program has turned self-made DIY videos into cash-money. The trick is to anticipate the things people want to know but afraid to ask. Can you draw a decent smokey eye? How well can you fold a paper airplane? Can you whistle? Super ‘clicky’ web tutorials on absurdly simple tasks can bank their makers up to $100k. “It’s nice to get paid for doing absolutely nothing,” the guy behind the popular “how to tie a tie” video told NPR.
Spa critic
If you’re going to have strong opinions, why not use them to get massages? Susie Ellis, C.E.O of Spafinder, has gotten thousands in her 20-year career. She’s traveled the world as an intrepid reporter, testing back rubs and aromatherapy rituals for her online spa directory. Freelance writers and editors for spa sites and magazines can get all the same massage perks without any of those C.E.O. headaches, and earn between $20,000 and $90,000 a year.
Resort consultant
According to one branding website, a popular mommy blogger was hired by a family resort to spend four days as a V.I.P. guest and offer feedback on how to improve their kid-friendly features. In addition to an all-expense paid vacation, she earned $1,200 for her time. Nice work if you can get it. Too bad the easiest jobs are the hardest to find.

If you want to find a job that will keep you healthy and fit, you must start to pursue these highly active careers. Here are some of them:
Carpenter
Carpenters need manual dexterity, good eye-hand coordination, physical fitness, and a good sense of balance. Whether it’s a small bookshelf or a big house, building stuff makes you sweat. Sawing wood, swinging a hammer and carrying lumber seems like you may as well be at the gym.
Registered Nurse
Ever wonder why nurses wear those thick, rubber-soled nursing shoes seemingly designed more for track and field than the emergency department? Let’s just say, nurses don’t sit down much. In fact, according to the U.S. Department of Labor, “registered nurses may spend considerable time walking, bending, stretching, and standing.” Patients in hospitals and nursing care facilities require 24-hour care, which means nurses may work nights, holidays, and weekends, says the Department of Labor.
Food Server
It’s been said that everyone should be a waiter once because then they’d never complain at a restaurant again. Why? Because serving food can involve more running than a five-set tennis match. Specifically, says the U.S. Department of Labor, waiters are “on their feet most of the time and often carry heavy trays of food, dishes, and glassware. During busy dining periods, they are under pressure to serve customers quickly and efficiently.” And since most servers earn the majority of their income from tips, according to the Department of Labor, there’s an incentive to run a bit faster.
Landscaper
If you like to stop and smell the roses, and then feverishly plant another row of them, landscaping might be your thing. If so, expect a daily workout tougher than your local Pilates instructor can dish out. The U.S. Department of Labor states that this is “physically demanding work.” But that’s likely expected from a profession that uses shovels, hand saws, chain saws, and lawnmowers. All this physical activity and the great outdoors, too.
Medical Assistant
As a medical assistant, you’ll not only be helping others stay healthy, but you’ll likely be active enough to also stay in shape yourself. That’s because medical assistants are those workers at your doctor’s office that seem to be doing a little bit of everything. First, they’re running with their nursing shoes to show you to your examination room, then they’re hurrying back to answer the phone, right before they pull charts and set up equipment trays. Basically, says the U.S. Department of Labor, they perform a variety of tasks to keep doctors’ offices running smoothly.
Firefighter
There’s a reason there are so many “beefcake” firefighter calendars out there. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, this job is very physically demanding. Even when they aren’t battling blazing buildings, firefighters are usually doing something to work up a sweat. For instance, they are often the first emergency personnel on the scene of traffic accidents and medical emergencies, says the Department of Labor. And there are different types of firefighters. “Elite firefighters called smoke jumpers parachute from airplanes to reach otherwise inaccessible areas,” says the Department.
