Things
to
know...
Job opportunities are expected to be excellent for
experienced workers.
Houses, apartments, factories, offices, schools, roads,
and bridges are only some of the products of the
construction industry.
Construction offers more opportunities than most other
industries for individuals who want to own and run their
own businesses.
People with many different talents and educational
backgrounds find job opportunities in the construction
industry, such as managers, clerical workers, skilled
crafts workers, semiskilled workers and laborers.
Most of the workers in construction are skilled craft
workers, laborers, helpers, and apprentices who
assist more skilled workers.

Things
to
know...
Most positions require formal training and advanced
education. However, an entry-level childcare worker
can be as young as 16 years old but must have a
high school diploma.
The demand for secondary school teachers is
increasing. The strongest needs are teachers for
math, physics, chemistry, bilingual education,
special
education and computer science in inner cities
& rural areas.
Thousands of job openings are expected for
kindergarten and elementary school teachers due to
large numbers of teachers retiring and the goal to
reduce class size.
