(From Reuters) WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Jobs in the healthcare and environmental
sectors are growing at a faster rate than those of the U.S. economy as
a whole, President Barack Obama's Council of Economic Advisers will say a report to be released on Monday.
The report, which looks at how the U.S. labor market is expected to
develop in the next few years, says a rebound in employment in
construction and some manufacturing sectors is expected as stimulus
spending approved early this year invests in projects around the
country.
The report is based on an analysis of recent labor market data, a
White House official said. The report identifies likely changes in the
U.S. labor market as economic drivers shift from sectors like financial
services to the growing sectors that are transforming the economy, the
official said.
The report, entitled "Preparing the Workers of Today for the Jobs of
Tomorrow," will also discuss the skills and training that will likely
be most relevant in growing occupations, the official said. It also
will discuss the type of education and training system needed to
prepare workers for those jobs.
