In a disquiet economy, of course everyone wants to know where the secure and prosperous job markets are. If you have been laid off or simply have witnessed colleagues or loved ones subject to downsizing, you may well be wondering if your job is safe; and moreover, what jobs are safest. Below, we offer the best industries to get into if you want long term job security; the below industries are on the rise and offer a promising future.
Green
Really, any job that has a green or eco-friendly purpose is a good choice. This is for a number of reasons. One of these is that there has been a recent federal initiative to help businesses get as green as possible in retrofitting their building and equipment, as well as implementing new greener initiatives. This leaves a very large opportunity for various green positions to cash in. Good choices: civil engineer, solar engineer, wind farm engineers, green construction management, green retrofitters, etc.
Health Care
Health care work is always in demand and there are more specialties being added to the industry all the time. One of these is what is called nursing informatics which is a combination of information science, computers, and nursing-in which registered nurses with computer technical experience are able to optimize computer systems in hospitals and medical agencies geared towards the most convenient and accurate use of other nurses and medical staff.
Social Media
One of the new ways that businesses are marketing themselves online is through a science called social media and/or social networking. These sites are highly interactive and are a means of meeting new and existing contacts online and expanding one’s network for profit. Good examples of social media sites and technology are: Facebook, Twitter, RSS technologies, etc. Social media as a career involves staying on top of a number of online member profiles and continuously interacting with others online, and updating profiles and content for regular viewing and interest.
IT
Another industry that one can always count on in today’s world of careers is that of IT. Today, the world of computer science and information technology professionals is constantly evolving into various areas of specialties and professions-as everything is becoming more and more virtual, and more digital. Those in IT can offer a specialty such as computer programming or engineering or be specialized in robotics, project management, or online marketing.
Education
Though education is often thought of an industry that is being cut as regards job positions, it is actually one of the areas in which promise is apparent-that is, in distance learning. Distance learning is a means of teaching remotely or virtually with online courses for both standard colleges and trade schools.
