We’ll get to the details of said jobs in a moment. First, here’s how we came up with this list.
How we determined the fastest growing jobs in Delaware
Every couple of years each state’s Department of Labor works in conjunction with the Bureau of Labor Statistics to compile projections for job growth by occupation. The government last completed this research in 2014 with projections going out until 2024.
Because this is America and the government never makes it easy, we had to gather the data from all the states individually to develop a master database.
We then identified the occupations in Delaware that are projected to have at least 1,000 workers in 2024 so that the jobs will still be relevant. This left us with data for 91 occupations in Delaware.
Next, we ranked every occupation based on job growth, from 1 to 91.
At the end of the day, the data showed that home health aideses will be the fastest growing job in Delaware.
