Health care continues to experience rapid growth. Patients increasingly are seeking home care as an alternative to costly stays in hospitals or residential care facilities, causing a significant increase in demand for home health aides. Although not classified as healthcare workers, personal and home care aides are being affected by this demand for home care as well.

- Network systems and data communication analysts
- Home health aides
- Personal and home care aides
- Financial examiners
- Medical scientists, except epidemiologists
- Physician assistants
- Skin care specialists
- Biochemists and biophysicists
- Athletic trainers.
