CHICAGO and ATLANTA, Dec. 2,
2016 /PRNewswire/ -- In the market for a new job in the
New Year? CareerBuilder and Emsi compiled a list of the hottest
jobs for 2017 based on three factors: 1) occupations that pay, on
average, around $20 or more per hour
2) have grown faster than the overall labor market from 2012 to
2016 and 3) have a critical mass of jobs. The study highlights five
key career categories where there is persistent demand and a large
number of job postings each month.
"Our research shows that employers are very invested in
expanding headcount in areas such as analytics and data science,
product development and sales as they strive to stay competitive in
B2B and B2C markets," said Matt
Ferguson, CEO of CareerBuilder and co-author of The
Talent Equation. "Skilled laborers will also see high
employment demand in the year ahead as will workers in clinical
roles."
The analysis uses CareerBuilder and Emsi's extensive labor
market database, which pulls from a variety of national and state
employment resources as well as online job postings. The following
are occupations where workers will find a larger number of
opportunities. The average hourly earnings are for the category
