Significant Points
- Although this industry ranks among the fastest growing through the year 2012, job competition should remain keen. Nearly one-quarter of all workers are self-employed. Seventy-two percent of workers have a bachelors degree or higher; 57 percent of all jobs are in managerial, business, financial, and professional occupations. This industry is one of the highest paying.
