Where The Jobs Are
ARTICLE TOOLS
Many students will soon be graduating and heading out in to the great big world of employment. Unfortunately in this economic climate, having a degree does not guarantee a job.
For those who have gotten education and training in “hot job” categories such as health care, finance, technology and management, there are plenty of jobs available, recruiters and university career counselors say.
“The economy is slower, but there are hot areas - definitely,” said Russell Boisjoly, dean of the College of Business & Management at Lynn University in Boca Raton, Florida. He said the growing health-care sector is a solid prospect.
More than 598,000 jobs were cut by employers in January. Many construction firms, mortgage companies, financial institutions and other businesses tied to the housing slump and credit crisis have slashed payrolls.
However, all over the country jobs are being added in the education, health-care, government and hospitality sectors.
Still, Healthcare is still the overall fastest-growing industries, with no slow down in sight. The country continues to experience a shortage of nurses, but areas such as home healthcare aides and physician’s assistants are also in great demand.
