Ranked: The Fastest Growing Jobs (2024-2034)

Key Takeaways

  • The top two fastest growing jobs relate to renewable energy: wind turbine techicians and solar panel installers.
  • Four of the top 10 jobs relate to healthcare.
  • The remaining four jobs are related to computers and math.

Over the next decade, all jobs in total are expected to grow by 3%. However, economists expect that the fastest growing jobs will grow much more quickly than this.

In this Markets in a Minute graphic, created in partnership with Terzo, we highlight the jobs that experts believe will have the fastest growth rate in the coming years.

A Closer Look at the Fastest Growing Jobs

Using data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the jobs below are projected to grow the fastest from 2024 to 2034.

Job % Change, 2024–2034P Median Annual Wage in 2024
Wind Turbine Techs 50% $62,580
Solar Panel Installers 42% $51,860
Nurse Practitioners 40% $129,210
Data Scientists 34% $112,590
Cybersecurity Analysts 29% $124,910
Healthcare Managers 23% $117,960
Physical Therapist Assistants 22% $65,510
Actuaries 22% $125,770
Operations Analysts 22% $91,290
Physician Assistants 20% $133,260

Full name of shortened job titles as follows: Wind turbine service technicians, solar photovoltaic installers, information security analysts, medical and health services managers, operations research analysts.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics expects wind turbine service technicians will see the highest growth. This is because demand for electricity fuels the need for wind turbines to be installed and maintained. Also within the realm of renewable energy, solar panel installers could grow quickly given lower costs and leasing options that eliminate upfront installation expenses.

Both of these roles pay more than the overall median wage of $49,500 in 2024, but less than other jobs on the list.

Growth in Healthcare

Four of the fastest growing jobs are related to healthcare, with this change fueled by the rise of chronic diseases and an aging population. In fact, adults over age 65 make up close to a quarter of the population in some states.

While three of the four medical roles involve the direct care of patients, healthcare managers are responsible for planning, directing, and coordinating health services. Their tasks typically include things like helping develop healthcare goals, ensuring facilities follow regulations, and preparing and monitoring budgets. 

Momentum in Math and Computers

The remaining fastest growing jobs are in math and computer-related fields. Of these roles, actuaries have the highest median salary.

As risks and the amount of data increases, actuaries play a key role in helping companies manage their own risk. They may also work at insurance companies to analyze data and project future risks and costs.

Meanwhile, experts predict both data scientists and operations analysts will see strong growth as the amount of data increases and the demand for actionable insights rises. 

Data scientists typically collect data, create algorithms and computer models, visualize findings, and make business recommendations. They typically need to be able to write code and develop statistical models, and therefore command a higher salary than operations analysts.
