Job Outlook:
Employment in professional and service occupations is expected
to increase the fastest of all occupations, and add the most
jobs from 2004-2014.
An increase in the number of businesses, changing financial
laws and regulations, and increased scrutiny of company finances
will drive growth of accountants and auditors.
Opportunities for secretaries and administrative assistants
will be best for those with extensive knowledge of software
applications.
The demand for medical transcription services will be spurred
by a growing and aging population and will be sustained by the
continued need for electronic documentation that can easily be
shared among providers.
Employment of medical records and health information technicians
is expected to grow much faster than the average for all occupations,
due to rapid growth in the number of medical tests, treatments,
and procedures that will be increasingly scrutinized by insurance
companies.
