Summary
5.9 million jobs are projected to be added in the U.S. from 2025 to 2035, lifting total employment to 176.2 million, though the 3.5% growth rate would trail the 10.9% pace seen in 2015-2025.
Healthcare dominates the fastest-growing occupations as an aging population boosts demand for care and social services; nurse practitioners top the list with 41% growth, or about 137,800 jobs.
Energy roles also rank near the top as electricity demand rises, with solar photovoltaic installers projected to grow 36.5% and wind turbine technicians 29.5% through 2035.
Medical and health services managers are expected to post the largest numeric gain among the top roles, adding 155,100 jobs, while data scientists rank third-fastest at 34.6%, or 95,400 jobs.
The projections add to BLS's broader picture of a reshaping labor market, with healthcare, clean energy and tech-related occupations leading growth over the next decade.
