Environmental Industries
Most people know how important it is to look after our environment. Governments and businesses also realize this. Some jobs related to the environment involve pollution control, recycling, composting, and trail development.
Health Care
Many nurses now work part-time, instead of full-time. Machines are replacing some medical positions. The employment picture is good for physiotherapists and rehabilitation workers. As people get older, more workers will be needed in the health professions generally.
Service Jobs
The number of jobs in such areas as sales, customer relations, tourism and restaurant management is increasing. Workers in these jobs need good communication skills. A business background is also helpful.
Teaching
There have been a lot of cutbacks in the teaching profession in recent years. The situation should improve as more teachers reach retirement age. Small communities offer the best chance of getting a teaching position. Science, math and remedial teachers are needed in some places. There are also opportunities for student assistants.
