The second fast-depleting job is the parking enforcement worker with a rate of -37.1%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-are-us-state-job-growth-projections-for-2031\">What are US state job growth projections for 2031?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Nevada has the fastest job growth rate of 5.1% projection (2021-2031) in the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With their high population rates, the next comes Florida and Texas with a job rise projection of 4.6%&nbsp; by 2031.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The least job growth states are West Virginia and Maryland with growth rates as low as 0.4% and 0.7% respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"wrapping-up\">Wrapping Up&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There has been consistent growth in jobs pre-pandemic. But the job market shattered when <strong>9 million jobs<\/strong> were lost in Covid. Unemployment rates improved from 14.7% in April 2020 to 3.8% (6.3 million people) in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AI is a&nbsp; major factor affecting job growth. AI is expected to create <strong>job loss for many workers<\/strong>.&nbsp; Two-thirds of employees working as word processors and typists are going to be laid off in the next ten years.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nurse Practitioners are also the <strong>fastest growing jobs<\/strong> with the highest pay. Next in line is wind turbine service technicians with 44.3% growth by 2031. The total number of jobs is expected to reach 166.5 million by 2031 in the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"sources\">Sources<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>BLS. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bls.gov\/news.release\/archives\/ecopro_02012012.htm#:~:text=Total%20employment%20is%20projected%20to,in%2020.5%20million%20new%20jobs.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Employment Projections: 2010-20 News Release<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>BLS. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bls.gov\/ooh\/fastest-growing.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Fastest Growing Occupations<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>BLS. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bls.gov\/news.release\/pdf\/empsit.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">The Employment Situation<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>BLS. <a href=\"https:\/\/data.bls.gov\/timeseries\/ces0000000001?output_view=net_1mth\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Hours, and Earnings from the Current Employment Statistics survey (National)<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>BLS. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bls.gov\/web\/laus\/statewide_otm_oty_change.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">State and Metro Area Employment, Hours, &amp; Earnings<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>OECD. <a href=\"https:\/\/data.oecd.org\/pop\/working-age-population.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Working age population<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>EPI. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.epi.org\/indicators\/unemployment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Jobs and unemployment<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>ASU. <a href=\"https:\/\/seidmaninstitute.com\/job-growth\/state\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Job Growth by State<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Balance. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebalance.com\/jobs-report-monthly-employment-growth-statistics-3305732\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Jobs Report and the Monthly Employment Growth Statistics<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>CNBC. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2019\/04\/26\/the-15-us-jobs-disappearing-the-fastest.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Here are the 15 jobs disappearing the fastest in the US<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>World Economic Forum. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weforum.org\/publications\/the-future-of-jobs-report-2023\/digest\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">The Future of Jobs Report 2023<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>LinkedIn. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/news\/story\/us-job-growth-slowed-in-october-5546209\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">US job growth slowed in October<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The New York Times. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/11\/03\/business\/economy\/jobs-report-october-2023.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Job Growth Slows, Sowing a Mix of Concern and Calm<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is the job market growing?
