The United States has a peculiar job and career outlook. It is estimated by the United States Department of Labor that current graduates will have on average about ten to fourteen jobs by the time they reach thirty-eight years of age.
Recently, it is also estimated that about twenty-five percent of the working population has been at their current job over a year and fifty-percent have been at their job less than five years.
With statistics such as these it is hard to predict what the future of jobs will be like in the United States for workers or even what types of skills will be needed in the future.
For many the outlook is that people will be shifting from job to job trying to settle on a career that is right for them, but not many people are looking forward to this kind of outcome.
It will be hard to predict what kind of skills one will need for the future job market as it is not certain what skills will be sought after the most.
For anyone looking to hold a job in the future education should be of primary importance. Since the career outlook is unsteady as to the type of skills needed it is best to get an education that includes a wide variety of skills and subject matter.
One may also want to brush up on other job related skills such as personal skills, business skills and anything else that will enhance their performance in a wide variety of jobs. There are also interpersonal skills one will need, leadership, communication, productivity and time management skills that related to a wide cross section of careers and life skills.
When getting an education it is important to take technology into consideration as many careers require the extensive use of many different types of technology on the job.
