As the New Year approaches, many people think of ways to step up their career – either by getting promoted in their current field or trying out a new one. The current economy has caused great changes in the job market, which has made new opportunities available. While many current industries have decreased by size or demand, others have continued to grow. If you are considering a career change, check out these industries expected to grow in 2011.
Healthcare
With or without a recession, the healthcare jobs continue to thrive. Medical care is continually in need for the public, and is especially in demand now with the nation’s aging baby boomer generation. Plus, because this field consists almost entirely of hands-on work with patients, few healthcare jobs can be outsourced.
Healthcare jobs include:
Registered Nurse jobs
Physical Therapist jobs
Pharmacist jobs
Anesthesiologist jobs
Dental Hygienist jobs
Green
In an effort to create more sustainable and eco-friendly power and technology, green jobs are expected to grow in the upcoming years. Analysts report that Americans are looking for alternative energy sources such as solar, geothermal and hydropower, and construction is needed to build “green” buildings. Many of these jobs are not only standing positions being filled, but newly created jobs.

Solar Project Manager jobs
Environmental Engineering Technician jobs
Water Treatment Specialist jobs
