The fastest-growing job in the US is expected to grow 105% by 2026—here are the other 19 via CNBCMakeIt
div > div.group > p:first-child"> With rapid improvements in technologies like artificial intelligence and machine learning, some jobs may be at risk. Workers who want a job 20 years from now should focus on gaining skills and experience in fast-growing industries.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics analyzed the 20 occupations with the highest percent change of employment between 2016 and 2026 and found that there are several jobs with double-digit job growth. But though these jobs are projected to grow quickly, they don't necessarily offer robust wages. BLS figures indicate that there is a wide range in how well these opportunities compensate workers.
According to the BLS, solar photovoltaic installers, often referred to as"PV installers," assemble, install and maintain solar panel systems and are part of the fastest-growing occupation. The job pays around $39,490 per year — or about $19 an hour — and does not typically require education beyond high school. Some PV installers take courses at technical or community colleges.
The highest-paying job on the list is physician assistant, which typically pays about $104,860. Unlike PV installers, becoming a physician assistant requires significant education beyond high school, typically including a master's degree. Other high-paying jobs on the list include nurse practitioner , mathematician and software developer while some of the lowest-paying jobs are personal care aide and home health aide .
