Over the next few years, we’re going to see a massive shift in the jobs market. Unfortunately, because of AI, it means many positions (entire careers, even) will be eliminated. However, even with AI taking lots and lots of jobs away from hark working people like you, there are tons of opportunities in jobs this year…

Jobs that will likely be around a long time!

Today, FindYourJobNow.com will share five industries where a lot of jobs are showing great growth (demand) this year, and into the future. Meaning, if you get one of these jobs, you could be employed for quite a while.

And…

We’ll share a big list of companies that are hiring, and how to apply to them too!

So, without further ado…

From our friends at MoneyTalksNews, here’s the five industries (and 20 jobs) that are booming in 2026:[1]

Skilled Trades and Technical Services

Automotive technician / mechanic, electronics technician, repair technician.

Health, Wellness and Community Care

Dentist, dietitian, massage therapist, personal trainer.

Transportation, Logistics and Essential Services

logistics specialist, over-the-road truck driver, emergency medical technician (EMT), delivery person.

Healthcare and Behavioral Health

Registered nurse (RN), physical therapist (PT), respiratory therapist, occupational therapist (OT), speech-language pathologist (SLP), clinical social worker, licensed professional counselor.

Now, as you can see from the jobs above, in order to be hired you’d need to be qualified. So, if you are interested in a long-term career, but aren’t yet qualified, you should seriously consider getting the education necessary to land one of these jobs.

It could mean the difference between AI replacing you, and a long, successful career.
