Have you ever wondered what you want to be when you grow up?
With baby boomers retiring en masse over the next twenty years, the work force will shrink as well, according to a study from Statistics Canada. But the nature of the world of work is going to change as well.A report from the Business Council of BC says the most in-demand jobs over the next twenty years will be mostly service jobs that are being vacated by those retiring boomers:
-Retail Sales (34,635 openings)
-Clerical/office (32,289)
-Cleaners: (32,010)
-Drivers: (29,241)
-Nursing: (29,182)While those service roles will need to be filled after they're vacated by retiring boomers, we can expect to see an uptick on a wide variety of positions. Those jobs will include current staples like skilled trades and police officers, but other roles will see a big bump. Anything to do with technology will be in demand, as will the health care and pharmaceutical space as the boomer population ages, And as managers retire, they'll need to be replaced, so keep an eye out for training jobs to grow as well.
