Go Wind, Young People

That's where the jobs are and will be.

Erik Loomis:

Jed Kolko provides an interesting analysis of where the American job market is headed. 

Couple of points:

1) It’s hardly surprising that health care is the fastest growing overall work sector, although it’s also notable that the single biggest category of job growth is wind turbine technician, which I hope turns out to be true. (emphasis mine)

2) It’s equally unsurprising that the fastest declining job categories all revolve around the old industrial economy, with both production and movement of goods in collapse. I didn’t even know the U.S. still had sewing machine operators as a job except for often illegal sweatshops in California, but whatever is left of that sector is still declining.

 And there's nothing older and declining faster in the industrial economy than coal. Go wind, young people, wherever you can find it.
