Summary
Nurse practitioners are projected to post the fastest job growth from 2025 to 2035 at 41%, with solar photovoltaic installers second and data scientists up about 35%, according to new BLS projections.
Healthcare, renewable energy and tech drive the gains: nurse practitioners can take on more physician duties in many states, cheaper solar systems are expected to lift installer demand, and rising data use and AI work support tech hiring.
5.9 million jobs are projected to be added across the US over the decade, a 3.5% increase that trails the 10.9% growth recorded from 2015 to 2025.
Private healthcare and social assistance is expected to add the most jobs as the population ages and chronic conditions rise, while utilities is projected to grow 10% as data centers increase electricity demand.
