For example, in Arizona, the number of job openings for nurses is expected to increase by 100.8% over 10 years. In other words, the number of job offers will be doubled for her. Job openings for massage therapists are increasing the fastest in six states, with the biggest change seen in New York with a 75% increase. These statistics provide insight into how jobs are changing compared to current employment. But less light has been shed on which occupations will provide the most job opportunities for future Americans.
To provide that insight to potential future health care workers across the country, the School of Medical Technology has identified Arizona projected to have the highest job growth from 2020 to 2030 as part of a broader national analysis. We have identified medical jobs that will
