How this is ranked
Ranked by projected percent change in employment. Where a BLS Occupational Outlook projection exists we use it, so roles are compared on one methodology; otherwise we use the median of the cited projections. Horizons differ by source (the target year is shown on each row), so ranks compare different end-years. Full methodology →
