It's always good to know which jobs are likely to see the most growth over the next decade. Thankfully, CompTIA did just such an analysis in its 2023 State of the Workforce Report. As you can see from this breakdown, data-related jobs like Data Scientist and Data Analyst are likely to grow the most during this period. They are followed by cybersecurity analysts and engineers, software developers, engineers, and web and UI/UX designers.

Projected 10-year growth rate for IT professions:

• IT directors - 99%

It's always a little risky to predict decadal trends given the amount that could potentially change in a relatively short time. For example, in 2005 no one would have predicted that by 2009 the Apple phone would create a growing market for mobile applications and services. Along the same lines, we have no idea how AI-based chatbots like ChatGPT could change the mobile app market, software developers, and engineers by the end of the decade.

However, in this regard, it is safe to say that organizations everywhere will constantly need specialists who can analyze data, protect the technology stack from internal and external threats, create software, and ensure the attractive appearance of all user-facing products.
