Answer

Brief Explanations:

  1. For the first question, we look at the "Percent employment change, projected 2023 - 31" column for the fastest - growing in percentage (Wind turbine service technicians with 60.1%) and the "Employment change, projected 2023 - 33, in thousands" column for the largest raw quantity (Medical and health services managers with 160.6 thousand).
  2. For the second question, we find the value in the "Employment change, projected 2023 - 33, in thousands" row for Information security analysts, which is 59.1 thousand.
  3. For the third question, factors like an aging population (increasing demand for healthcare), advancements in medical technology (requiring more skilled personnel), and a push for accessible healthcare (nurse practitioners can provide a wide range of services) could contribute to the growth of nurse practitioners.
  4. For the fourth question, the first column is about percentage growth (relative measure) and the second is about absolute number of jobs added (raw quantity). A small - sized occupation can have a high percentage growth but a low raw quantity (e.g., wind turbine service technicians: 60.1% growth but only 6.8 thousand jobs added), while a large - sized occupation can have a moderate percentage growth but a high raw quantity (e.g., medical and health services managers: 28.5% growth but 160.6 thousand jobs added).
  5. For the fifth question, if choosing based on employment prospects (raw quantity of jobs added), medical and health services managers (160.6 thousand jobs added) or nurse practitioners (135.5 thousand jobs added) could be good choices as they have a large number of projected new jobs. If considering percentage growth and job availability in a potentially niche but growing field, wind turbine service technicians (60.1% growth) could be considered, although the raw number of jobs (6.8 thousand) is lower.

Answer:

  1. In terms of percent growth: Wind turbine service technicians (60.1%). In terms of raw quantity: Medical and health services managers (160.6 thousand).
  2. 59.1 thousand.
  3. Possible reasons include an aging population increasing healthcare demand, medical technology advancements, and a push for accessible healthcare (nurse practitioners can offer a wide range of services).
  4. The first column is a relative measure (percentage growth) and the second is an absolute measure (raw number of jobs added).
  5. Example: Medical and health services managers (160.6 thousand jobs added - large raw quantity of new jobs). Or wind turbine service technicians (60.1% growth - high relative growth in a potentially emerging field).
