There is no shortage of industries hard hit by the recent recession,
which resulted in millions of Americans losing jobs. But with the
economy making a comeback, some industries are now showing robust
growth, according to a new report released this week.
The study, prepared by Economic Modeling Specialists Intl. and CareerBuilder, an AOL Jobs sponsor, notes 10 industries where job growth has increased by double digits the past two years.
Heavily represented in these fast-growing fields are the energy and health-care sectors, but so are manufacturing, technology, logistics and a trio of occupations that employ many freelance as well as salaried workers.
Overall, job creation is on "an upward trajectory," CareerBuilders says, though some areas are experiencing slow or stagnant growth, according to the report, which includes data for employees as well as self-employed workers, culled from more than 90 national and state employment resources.
The following is a list of fast-growing industries where job growth has increased by double digits -- with an addition of at least 20,000 jobs from 2020 to 2022 -- according to the report.
