What new things will do in 2008? An expected big change in 2008 is employment. The employment rate is expected to increase by 15.6 million jobs during the 2006-16 decade, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).
Almost all of this growth will occur in the service-providing sector, which will account for 75 percent of all jobs in 2016. Professional service occupations are projected to grow just as quickly, accounting for more than six out of ten new jobs created throughout 2006-2016.
