Information about these occupations was taken from the 2006-2007 Occupational Outlook Handbook. To find out more information about various occupations, visit the Occupational Outlook Handbook.
Advertising
- Competition for many jobs will be keen because the glamour of the industry traditionally attracts many more jobseekers than there are job openings.
- California and New York together account for about 1 in 5 firms and more than 1 in 4 workers in the industry.
- Layoffs are common when accounts are lost, major clients cut budgets, or agencies merge.
More information can be found at the Occupational Outlook Handbook website.
Elementary Education
- Public school teachers must have at least a bachelor’s degree, complete an approved teacher education program, and be licensed.
- Many States offer alternative licensing programs to attract people into teaching, especially for hard-to-fill positions.
- Excellent job opportunities are expected as retirements, especially among secondary school teachers, outweigh slowing enrollment growth; opportunities will vary by geographic area and subject taught.
