Many Will Open Up Home-Based Opportunities

Jobfox, the Internet’s fastest-growing career site, predicts the top Obama-inspired new job trends to watch in 2009.

The Obama administration has said it will “hit the ground running” with what experts project to be a $700 billion job stimulus package. The new administration’s goals are to create or save 2.5 million jobs over the next two years.
Many of the job-growth areas will open up opportunities for home-based workers, particularly for those who can outsource their services or work as consultants. According to Jobfox, the most wanted new jobs, listed by major Obama initiatives, will include:

Construction of Roads, Bridges, Transit, and Rural Broadband: construction managers; project managers; civil engineers; computer-aided drafting specialists; telecommunications engineers.

Greater Oversight of Financial Markets: compliance accountants; internal auditors; tax accountants; government regulators.

Energy Independence: electrical engineers; mechanical engineers; power grid managers; biofuels chemists; sales and marketing.
