What could be some of the best jobs for the future? To answer that question, you’d need to know which jobs will be in high demand as the U.S. and global economies shift.

This graphic uses data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) to highlight the roles that are projected to have the most job growth over the next decade.

Trends Within Job Growth

Overall, the BLS estimates that there will be a net growth of 6.7 million new jobs from 2023 to 2033. Home health and personal care aides are expected to make up 12% of this total.

In fact, with an aging population, four out of the top 10 occupations by job growth are related to healthcare.

Job Projected Number of New Jobs (2023-2033) 2023 Median Annual Wage
Home health and personal care aides 821K $33,530
Software developers 304K $132,270
Restaurant cooks 245K $35,780
Fast food and counter workers 213K $29,540
General and operations managers 210K $101,280
Registered nurses 197K $86,070
Stockers and order fillers 169K $36,390
Medical and health services managers 161K $110,680
Financial managers 138K $156,100
Nurse practitioners 136K $126,260

Apart from healthcare, roles within the food service industry are also expected to grow. The BLS projects that population and income growth will result in greater consumer demand for prepared food. Unfortunately, these roles currently pay far below the overall U.S. median wage of $48,060.

The Best Careers for the Next 10 Years?

Luckily, many of the positions with high job growth also have above-median pay. For instance, software developers earn just over $132,000 per year. The BLS expects that there will be increased demand for software for AI, robotics, cybersecurity, and electronics powered by the Internet of Things.

Financial managers, ninth on the list, earn more than triple the U.S. median wage. These positions are typically responsible for analyzing data and advising senior managers on ways to maximize profits. Some examples are controllers or treasurers.

One specialty, risk management, is expected to be in high demand as institutions put an increased focus on stability amid banking failures.
