Last weekend on “Meet the Press,” David Gregory’s guests talked about the next decade in job creation. The general consensus seemed to be: We need to create new sustainable sectors to place the millions of displaced workers of this recession. Take a look at this exchange<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

MR. GREGORY: What, what does a jobs picture look
\nlike, even when they start returning?<\/p>\n

MS. [ANDREA] MITCHELL: The jobs will, first of all, not be the same kind of jobs, and that links to both immigration and to education.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Actually, tomorrow’s jobs picture looks a lot like today’s.<\/p>\n

This is basically the story of two graphs. In the first graph, we learn
\nabout the last ten years. While health care, education and government
\npayrolls grew over the last ten years, the rest of the jobs market
\nshrank.<\/p>\n

\"healthedgov.png\"<\/span> In the second graph, we glimpse the next ten years<\/a>.
\nThis is a graph from the Bureau of Labor Statistics projected the largest growing
\nservice-providing industries. Two of the top three are health care and
\neducation. Government is number six.<\/p>\n

\"Chart<\/a><\/center>
\n
\nThe Council of Economic Advisers also drew up ten-year job projections<\/a>. Health care and education lead their list, too:<\/p>\n

\"jobsadded0816.png\"<\/span>What’s
\nthe takeaway? This is job market driven largely by health care,
\neducation and other government supported industries. It’s possible that
\nsome industry will take off unexpectedly in the next ten years, the
\nsame way the Internet blossomed in the late ’90s. But it’s equally, if
\nnot more, likely that the next few years will look terribly familiar in
\nterms of job creation. I sympathize with Mitchell’s hope for new
\nsustainable industries to drive employment in the next ten years. But
\nit’s worth pointing out that the BLS and CEA aren’t holding their
\nbreath.
