No job and no degree? Don’t fret. There are plenty of great opportunities out there.
CareerBuilder recently partnered with Economic Modelling Specialists Intl. (EMSI) to compile a list of the hottest jobs for 2015 that don’t require a college degree.
The list features professions for which the number of jobs companies post each month significantly outpaces the number of people they actually hire — showing where companies are most hungry for talent.
The list was compiled using EMSI’s extensive labour market database, which pulls from over 90 national and state employment resources.
CareerBuilder and EMSI looked at the average number of people hired per month in more than 700 occupations from January 2013 through August 2014 and compared that to the number of job postings for each occupation aggregated from online job sites for the same period. They also looked at growth projections, average pay for each job, and education requirements.
