Comments on: Fastest Growing Occupations in Portland Metro Area through 2018 http://careerenlightenment.com/announcements/fastest-growing-occupations-in-portland-metro-area-through-2018 YOUR Career: Powered by Social Media Thu, 02 Feb 2012 20:34:24 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Lisalahey http://careerenlightenment.com/announcements/fastest-growing-occupations-in-portland-metro-area-through-2018/comment-page-1#comment-661 Lisalahey Fri, 25 Feb 2011 03:37:00 +0000 http://careerenlightenment.com/?p=1263#comment-661 Dominating most of your list of fastest-growing jobs is the medical/dental field. Not at all surprising. By the year 2017 there will be a shortage of thousands of RN's. Nurse aides, health care aides, personal support workers are in huge demand and that demand is growing all the time. There is an easy explanation for it: (1) aging baby boomers who are into their middle aged years and some are well beyond (2) great medical technology and medicines are keeping people alive a lot longer While the latter is a blessing it is bitter sweet if we can't find enough people to fill the roles needed to care for our seniors.
