CITIZEN’S NEWSFriday, September 17, 2010 23

As any professional knows, the job

market is as fluid as ever. The uncer-

tain nature of the economy as well as

advancements in technology have

changed the way business is done.

As a result, those seeking employ-

ment or those simply hoping to switch

careers would be wise to consider

which fields are on the rise. In general,

job seekers with no ties to any specific

locale tend to look for work in larger cit-

ies, including New York, Los Angeles

and Chicago. However, even metropoli-

tan areas continue to recover slowly, if

at all, from the economic downturn that

began near the end of the first decade

of the 21st century. According to the

U.S. Department of Labor, the city of

New York’s jobless rate in June 2010

was 8.8 percent, a slight improvement

over the June 2009 rate of 9 percent.

Los Angeles, meanwhile, saw its job-

less rate increase over that same span,

jumping 11.1 percent in June 2009 to

11.6 percent a year later.

Simply put, the conventional wisdom

of moving to the big city to find work is

no longer a lock. Job seekers would be

wise to consider the following careers,

which Department of Labor studies

indicate are among those on the rise in

metropolitan areas.

Registered Nurse: Depart-

ment of Labor research indicates that

some 581,500 new RN jobs will be cre-

ated in the 10-year period between

2008 and 2018. What’s more, an RN

can expect to make a very good salary

as well. For example, the San

Career Choices on the RiseFrancisco-San Mateo-Redwood City

metropolitan area boasts the third high-

est-average annual salary for RNs at

$98,900.

Accountant: While the prospects

for accountants are not as great as

those for registered nurses, opportuni-

ties are still very good, with nearly

280,000 new jobs expected between

2008 and 2018. The majority of

accountants work in urban areas as

well, making the move to a metropoli-

tan area a good decision for prospec-

tive accountants.

Paralegal: Paralegals can expect

strong hiring trends for the next decade

as well, with more than 74,000 new

jobs expected between 2008 and 2018.

Education Administrator:Though this field expects some growth

over the next decade, it’s important for

job seekers to know that many of the

nation’s public schools require an

advanced degree, particularly a

master’s in education administration,

for their top administrative positions,

which can pay into six figures.

Network administrators:Computer network administrators are,

not surprisingly, likely to be in high

demand for the next decade, with an

expected 286,000 new jobs to be cre-

ated by 2018. In addition, job seekers

might be surprised to know that this

potentially high-paying field offers entry

level positions with requirements of

only an associate’s or bachelor’s

degree.
