50 fastest-growing jobs for the future

Mixed signals in the job market make it difficult for job seekers to understand which career fields will provide stability and good job opportunities. In the first eight months of 2025, the unemployment rate has held steady between 4.0 and 4.3%, yet job growth has seen a slowdown, with 487,000 new jobs added, compared to 1.03 million in the same period a year earlier.

That’s not to say that job seekers have a murky future, because some industries are booming. Stacker rounded up and researched the 50 fastest-growing jobs ranked by the projected growth rate between 2024 and 2034 in the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Occupational Outlook Handbook. Any professions that tied in projected growth were broken by that vocation’s 2024 median annual wage. Furthermore, any occupations with the phrase “all other” were not included in the research since these occupations usually entail several similar jobs and cannot give accurate or detailed wage and growth data.

Health care has been the fastest-growing sector over the last year, accounting for 1 in 3 new jobs. Demand is up because more people have access to health care and are using it and spending more on it, according to The New York Times. The future continues to be bright for many jobs in this field, some of which don’t require multiple college degrees. Many jobs on this list are within the health care spectrum.

Various repair and technician jobs will also see high growth through 2034, including recreational vehicle technicians, who will be needed to service the record number of RVs shipped during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Read on to learn about other jobs that hold the promise of a good future.
