US jobs most likely to grow or shrink in the next decade
Nurse practitioners, wind technicians and solar installers are among the fastest-growing jobs as BLS says health care and renewable energy will drive demand.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics released employment projections for the next decade, showing that automation and artificial intelligence are reshaping the labor market by shifting demand between industries.
Health care and renewable energy lead projected gains, as demographic shifts and rising energy demand drive strong opportunities for Nurse professionals and technicians across both sectors.
Nurse practitioner positions are expected to grow 41% by 2035, while Solar installation remains a rapidly expanding career path demonstrated by projects in Indiana and other states.
Conversely, employment is expected to decline for office support, sales, and production roles as automation reduces the need for manual data handling and customer service tasks.
Technicians specializing in Wind services will see high demand in the coming years, reflecting a broader transition toward specialized technical roles requiring different skill sets than positions being phased out.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) recently released a report that projects the growth of the U.S. labor force between 2025 and 2035, and identifies which occupations will see the largest increases in employment as the economy develops.
