EXECUTIVE JOB MARKET OUTLOOK
Since November of 2003 through the end of 2005, employers have added more than 4 million jobs, with more than 1.7 million jobs coming in 2005 alone. The US job market is likely to continue its growth through 2006. The biggest job gains are expected to come in the financial services, technology, healthcare, energy and international business sectors.
Job creation is occurring at the high end of the pay scale, where employment in management, business and financial occupations has grown by over one million jobs since January of 2005.
The top job categories that employers will be seeking to fill includes accountants, petroleum engineers, financial planners, physical therapists, computer support specialists, and international sales and marketing managers.
Senior level professionals with math, science and other technology skills are in particular demand, provided that such skills are kept up to date with the rapid changes taking place in the technology fields. In addition to tech-related industries, healthcare fields will continue to see increased hiring through 2006.
In the financial services sector, corporate accountants are in hot demand as companies try to navigate the flood of new accounting rules and regulations. Personal financial planners are also increasingly in demand as baby boomers prepare for their impending retirements.
Other areas that will see job growth in 2006 include senior level positions related to international trade and commerce. Sales and marketing executives specializing in international markets will be particularly sought after as American businesses tap the growing populations of China and India.
