This Chart Shows the Fastest Growing Jobs in Every State

A friendly word of advice: if you live in California or Hawaii, you may want to consider a career in installing solar panels. Alternatively, if your home state is Colorado, Texas, Nebraska, or Iowa, a job servicing wind turbines might be your best bet.

Yahoo! Finance put together this handy infographic, using statistics compiled by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, to show what is the fastest growing job in each state in the country.

The results are pretty interesting and represent a shift in how many Americans work. As mentioned earlier, solar panel installer jobs are the fastest growing in California and Hawaii, but that’s also the case in several other states in different parts of the country, including Florida, North Carolina, New Jersey, and Minnesota. Here is how the western United States and Alaska and Hawaii shapes up.

Another rising occupation is statistician. The median annual salary for a statistician in the U.S. is $84,060 and these number crunchers are the fastest growing occupation in Michigan, Illinois, Kentucky, and Connecticut.

As we move east through the Midwest and towards the Atlantic, here are the fastest growing occupations.

The East Coast is a unique mix of positions, including the aforementioned solar panel installer in two states, biomedical engineer in Maine, costume attendant in Georgia (because of the thriving film/TV industry), and  gambling industry worker in New York.

Let’s hope the economy keeps on revving along and people in all industries in America continue to move up the ladder.
