Hot Jobs in High Demand 2009 - 2016 - Economic Recovery
94Three Million Jobs
At any given time, we find 2.6 to 3 Million jobs listed on the Internet in Internet Job Search site listings and on recruiters' sites and employers' individual websites. Some jobs are not advertised at all on the Internet, and the Hidden Job Markets within certain groups of companies are harder to uncover. Over 3 Million jobs are often available in America and are projected to increase through 2016.
For information on the leading industries hiring from 2009 - 2012, see the article at What Industries are Hiring the Most Workers?
The top actually-listed jobs for July 2009 are presented below.
Jobs listings rose to July '08 with travel and vacations increasing, then fell after the 2008 Christmas and Holiday Season. However, job listings increased to February '09 and leveled out, but continued to fluctuate around that level. Some states continued to experience increases in job listings in certain cites and regions. Texas is a good example of such economic health. In the Autumn of 2009, many US States experienced job increases.

Summer 2009 Comparison
Four Industry Sectors Contain the Most Jobs
The most jobs listings are in categories that involves SALES. The second greatest number of job openings are listed in Healthcare, with the third highest being in Management of some sort, whether Retail, Food Service, or some other industry. The last entry is a single listing category for tax preparation that would include Accounting Professions. Forensic Accounting is becoming a growing industry sector in the 21st Century in light of several financial scandals in the nation and the need to better control finances and eleiminate waste..
In 2009, an increase in tax preparation services occured, because of such events and problematic or overwhelming situations as 1) ammended tax returns for larger deductions and refunds, 2) catch-up of unfiled tax returns, and 3) tax audits and related matters.

Why Projections Change
Employment trends and actual job listings differ by state and by metropolitan area within the US States.
Federal projections for future jobs are produced by government statisticians and analysts for a decade at a time, such as 2004 - 2014 and 2006 - 2016 and there is some time overlap as well as differences in job projections that arise with the emergence of new industries and new occupations. Some jobs essentially go out of existence and new jobs are offered as technologies advance.
Overlapping decades provides a background for adjusting trends to other important factors that may include increasing or decreasing populations and other elements. The Recession 2008 - 2009 had some affects upon job listing trends, as did the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funding. Employment trends can change rapidly and it is wise to read business and employment projection news.
An example of changes between two decades of projections can be seen in an article that adresses the Best Places to Move In Tennessee.
The State of Texas experienced a small increase in Unemployment rate overall in June, 2009, but several cities remained at around only 5-6% while the nation topped over 10% unemployment during the same time. See a market-by-market review at Texas Job Markets.

Comments, Additions, and Job News
I think I accedentally lost a comment from medarj - Sorry!
Thanks for the comments -- Physical therapists will be a GREAT demand through 2100 actually, because of the aging populations living longer and having joint/muscle conditions. A nationalized healthcare plan may offer the option of voluntary euthansia at end of life, but I have not read the bill and can't say for sure.
I have to admit the beauty jobs on the list threw me off. I was expecting the medical and technical jobs but not the beauty.
Wow thanks a lot! Very useful information there, and a very worked on hub indeed!
Indeed, I expected Computer Software Engineers to be higher than 4th on the projections, because of the importance computers will have on the near future, but anyways, 4th is still a good position for that...
Thanks for the comments!
Hi, I got interesting data from your Hub.
Thank you!!
Very good information.
Thanks.
good job,I can choose job in the nature because your hub.
This hub is an eye opener for the growing adults.
It confirms the importance of improved lifestyle, nutritious food and regular exercise. Physical exercises are a part of Natural healing. It can keep everybody fit. Top priority to Physical Therapist confirms increased physical ailments like Cervical, joint pains & back pain and other related ailments.
Useful ideas on your Hub!!
Thanks.
I got useful information from your hub!!!
Thanks for all the comments about High Demand Jobs and looking for work! Health and Sales & Service jobs will likely be haigh demand for a long while - IT as well.
Well done, well researched and well informed. I like it!
hopefully engineering is one of those
Thanks for the comments and links!
Engineers are definitely high-demand in many markets, especially with infrastructure improvements and the move toward sustainability.
Very informative, well written.
Great hub, and some useful information provided. Thanks for sharing
Healthcare is huge right now. I just interviewed for several different companies that are in the healthcare business and they always say how much they are growing. It's great. Very good info here.
Wonderful information. Will be sure to share with my brother.
Very interesting hub.
I'm so glad I managed to get a job for now, and I only hope that I can either keep this job or find a better one next year. As such, I think this is a very useful hub. Thanks!
Hey - Great hub, very informative, a good read :-)
My daughter started college this month and it is good to see that her career path is on here.
Almost 7 million jobs have been lost since the recession started in 2007.
+Americans' purchasing power has been battered by the 6.7 million jobs that have vanished since the recession began in December 2007." - Associated Press August 28, 2009
Great Job! I enjoyed this hub. Very informative, very relavent to our economic state!
Thanks for this hub!
thank you so much
Interesting! But seriously...Avon?
Cool hub. I don't know if we got the bid for the 2016 Olymics in Chicago but I hope we got/get it. Illinois is in such a terrible way because our former governer was a theif and overspender. 60 million dollars, or something, to put his nameplates over the toll roads. Anyway, I hope to see a great deal of jobs to greet the influx of tourists. Yey! Maybe Illinois can get out of this debt hole with the tax money too! With more people working, more taxes are being paid rather than food stamps given out. Awesome.
Very informative Patty! Thanks for such a well thought out hub. I've been thinking of going back to college, now I have more of an idea on which way to go. Thanks!
Hey I don't see "Internet Blogger" on that list.
It's interesting that a lot of the high demand jobs of the future are those that require an actual physical presence. Like I was told, if your work can be packaged up and be transmitted over a wire...be afraid...be very afraid.... Very informative and useful hub, thanks.
Nice hub. Very well written, cheers. =)
Well done. This type of information serves to ward off the utter despair that sometimes comes from job hunting, unsuccessfully. One thing is for sure, after reading this type of content, you know which direction to head in if you're thinking about additional career training. Thanks again.
very nice article try to best
Good hub. It is very informative and good to read as well.
Great Hub!!
Thanks..
This article is quite good quality, good acquaintances with you patty..
I think these holds good to India as well and all the other countries too.
Hi Patty, thanks for your info for such a great analysis....i think health care might be the hottest industry for this new century and it seems to be growing in the next 5 or 10 years time..
good for me, I'm going to school for psychology. The average person unfortunately will not understand the rest of this text unless they also have a degree in psychology. To do the love of some of them is not the love of all of them. Fraud or skinner(b the be for them) if that is for them. Humanistic vs behaviorist (s of d) very informative! sight!
in seven years i can finally get a real job.
Excellent Hub. This info is very insightful and useful for anyone (high school & beyond).
Nearly 2.8 Million Jobs Available
Great Job, Gentleman!
Good post. A lot of info there
I saw
6. AVON Independent Sales Representatives
And I thought, "hey, I didn't expect to see that there", but then it's obvious. These aren't jobs, they are opportunities for people to start their own business and so recruitment to these will have escalated over the last 18 months. They're advertising anywhere and everywhere they can because more people are prepared to give it a go, so it makes sense that any company like this is advertising more in a downturn.
It's not a "job" job, so shouldn't really show up imho.
It's listed under jobs in online job engines and offers more openings than some paycheck jobs, so it's included. In fact,more and more employment may become freelance and independent contractor, so the very nature of "job" is changing and must be accepted.
The Tax professionals/tax preparers one interested me, but now that I think about it, I can see how that would be a very necessary part of the economy.
1) All of the lost jobs & income & the government is going to have no choice but to start auditing more because of their lost revenues via less taxes.
2) Because of #1 - people should make a point of being VERY careful about their taxes & make sure they do them the right way.
You went above and beyond with this list. Great stuff you have here....
Great post Patty! This is a very good outlook on what might be a good choice in careers or for study purposes.
Its quite interesting to see Software Application Engineers are still in the top notch positions...
Nice info.Nice to see you here.
Great hub. Thank you for this informative Hub.
excellent insights.great work.thanks.
Great hub, I just recently heard that most surgeons are getting paycuts, docters arn't what they used to be.
great hubs patty its very helpful
I'm surprised nothing was listed in terms of computer network administrators . . . maybe I missed it. Nice comprehensive list.
Network Systems and Data Communications Analysts appear on the list at #1. Administrators may yet be within the top 25; I suspect that they are.
I was surprised to see Assistant Managers listed in the top 15. With the retail markets seeing little growth compared to projected revenue sales and last year figures.
Patty a great resources from your side for the jobs seekers in this particular country. Nice hub.
These reports are great I need to plan for my future and some sort of direction is good. Thanks for the info.
nothing there for aviation , hope I'm not getting into the wrong field. Almost 100k for my schoool, better be able to get a job afterward.
It seems funny that there are so many jobs advertising on the web, yet our unemployment rate is so high. It almost seems like the employers are taking their own sweet time to find the best people they can find. Thanks.
Its a very useful site
It's always good to know what the trends will be in order to prepare future personal decisions. The information you have given us is valuable! Thanks.
All of this is very interesting, for sure. I'm passing it along to my confused nieces abd nephews!
great job , good sharing about jobs.
Nice list, That can be give a direction to youngster so they can see the demand here and can follow that path,To get a good high paying job early. Good Hub :)
Nice to know HHA's are on the list, I am one and also a CNA (certified nurse assistant).
Your article was a very good marketing analysis of job prospecting. The key is going to be college degree, or advance training with some kind of certification. Teaching will always be a good field to go into. Medical profession is growing because people will always be ill with some kind of disease.
Excellent article! It's good to finally see lists that include all education levels.
That's interesting, I wanted to be a physical therapist for a long time before I switched up my major freshman year.
gud info ...
Updated November 12, '09. Thanks!
I wasn't aware of these facts. Thanks for this informative article. I think this article is going to help million of people.
Patty, your articles on the job market are extremely comprehensive and valuable for folks in the job market. Thanks for continuing to update this hubpage with recent articles. I imagine your projections about the job market through 2016 could be especially valuable for students who are currently choosing their major.
