Wondering what career path to trod? Try this handy "Future-Jobs-O-Matic" to forecast the future health of different jobs and industries. It's fun.
Marketplace host Kai Ryssdal won't like what his own web tool has to say about his future, or more likely, he's really grateful he's bucking the trend.
The site also lists the fastest growing and shrinking jobs and the highest and lowest paid ones. Sadly, the top two highest growing—home health aide, and waiter—are also in the lowest paid column.
See the full list here.
All the forecasting is based on real data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Here's the page used to generate the positive prognosis on loggers below.
