See which jobs could grow fastest — and slowest — over the next decade

The U.S. labor market is set to undergo significant changes over the next decade, with certain sectors experiencing rapid growth while others face declining demand. The healthcare and social assistance industry is projected to be the fastest-growing, adding 2.2 million jobs between 2025 and 2035, accounting for 37% of all new U.S. jobs during that period.

Similarly, the professional, scientific, and technical services sector is expected to see a 9.8% growth, adding nearly 927,000 jobs over the same timeframe, primarily driven by the increasing demand for artificial intelligence-based systems and tools.

However, not all sectors are projected to expand. Administrative jobs, such as office clerks, customer service representatives, and secretaries, are expected to see a decline of 752,000 positions within the next decade. Moreover, the arts, design, entertainment, sports, and media sector could also face job losses due to the adoption of AI technology, with a potential reduction of 927,000 jobs in this group. Lastly, federal government jobs are expected to decline by 3.4% from 2025 to 2035.
