25 Best Jobs in America for 2016

When I meet with students for career counseling, students always want to know… “What jobs are HOT right now?!” When asked this question, I usually ask students to do their research through the Occupational Outlook Handbook based on the job outlook for jobs they may be interested in.
What is the Job Outlook?
The job outlook predicts what employment will be like for a particular occupation in the future. It is important to take note of it when you are exploring an occupation because it can help predict your chances of finding a job in the future.
