One industry that is in great need right now is the health care industry. The highest demand right now is for registered nurses, certified nursing assistants, health technicians, clinical case managers and medical secretaries.

With the urgent need right now, you don't have to wait to complete your certification to get started as a CNA or a personal care aide. You can get started right away and get your training as you work. For nurses who haven't completed their training or have a lapsed certification, there are exceptions right now so you can work right away.
On the other end of the spectrum, another growing industry that is hiring right now is advanced manufacturing.

The jobs in demand include composites technicians, welders and production supervisors. If you're not familiar with the field, many of these companies offer on-the-job-training.
