Growing Jobs

What sort of jobs will people be doing ten years from now? According to① a survey published by an American university②，the ten fastest growing jobs will be related to③computers and health. They include computer systems analysts④，data analysts and database⑤ managers. But there will also be a rise in⑥ the demand⑦ for health care professionals. Some of these will be new jobs, such as bioinformaticians⑧，who combine computer skills with⑨knowledge of biology⑩. Others will be more traditional⑪. For example, more home care nurses will be needed to look after⑫the rapidly ageing population. But many youngsters⑬will need professional care, too：14 million Americans suffer⑭from speech or language problems, and six million of them are under the age of 18. The number of speech pathologists⑮(who help people who have problems speaking⑯) is expected to double⑰by the year 2012. And social workers will continue to be in demand⑱.
