July 13 (Bloomberg) — White House economic advisers expect “robust” job growth during the next decade in such industries as health care, green energy, transportation, construction and education, according to a report that calls for a “comprehensive strategy” to better prepare workers.
The report, released today by President Barack Obama's Council of Economic Advisers, is based on the group's analysis of labor-market data.
Health-care jobs will remain “a large source” of the projected growth, particularly for information-technology workers, registered nurses, laboratory technicians and physical therapists, it said.
The CEA report is part of an administration response to Republican critics who say Obama's $787 billion stimulus package has been slow to produce benefits, with rising unemployment exceeding White House predictions.
