What are the fastest growing occupations in Georgia?
Occupational growth is defined using projections data. These data list the fastest growing jobs (percentage of growth), largest job growth (numerical growth), most annual openings, etc. Eight of the 20 fastest growing jobs are related to health services and five are related to computer technology. Fastest growing occupations, defined as a percentage of new growth, also have a minimum of 100 annual openings. Additionally, more than half of these occupations have higher than average wages. Occupations with a high percentage of growth, 100 or more openings per year and higher than average wages earn the distinction of being a hot job. Occupational projections are published in Georgia Workforce 2014 Long-term Employment Trends and Georgia Area Workforce Trends (local workforce investment act areas).
