The California Employment Development Department has updated their 2008-2018 job predictions. According to projections, health care will become an increasingly viable job market in the coming years.

Obama’s health-care reform, which will offer more citizens health coverage than ever before, is behind the boom in health-care.

“… Families will likely be coming in for more preventive care than you see right now,” according to John Emery, who is the dean of Cal State Bakersfield’s School of Business and Public Administration.

The following is a list of occupations that the department claims will have the most job openings through 2018: Farmworkers and Laborers, Cashiers, Retail Salespeople, Combined Food Preparation and Serving Workers, Elementary School Teachers, Personal and Home Care Aides, Waiters and Waitresses, Truck Drivers, Office Clerks, Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Registered Nurses, Correctional Officers and Jailers, Cooks, Stock Clerks and Order Fillers, Medical Assistants, General and Operations Managers, Secondary School Teachers, First-Line Supervisors and Managers of Office and Administrative Support Workers an Customer Service Reps.
