With unemployment continuing to climb, it’s getting harder and harder to find a job.  But there are industries out there that are hiring now, and I thought I’d to a search to find where people think the jobs are.  A good strategy might be to find growth industries and focus on them first.

I came on that genius conclusion by landing a job that combines two of the industries listed below.  Here’s what looks like a consensus for industries that are hiring now:

• Health Care – There are jobs almost across the board here.  Jobs for nurses, support, technicians and doctors (of course) seem to be around.  In fact 4 of CNN’s top 12 companies for hiring are in health care.

• Insurance — outside of health care, insurance companies took 2 of CNN’s top 12 spots.
• Software — Computer jobs continue to be around to support all kinds of industries.  I’m fortunate to be in this category.  FastCompany Magazine lists software jobs like computer software engineer and computer system analyst among the t0p jobs.  My current employer?  They coordinate insurance, medicare and worker’s comp claims – health care support.
• Globalization –  As the world shrinks, demand is growing for people who can speak multiple languages and can handle international business.

Of course, the best job is the one that you can land, no matter what the industry.  With the way unemployment numbers have jumped, any opening is up for grabs.
