Unlikely job is now among the 50 fastest growing in NJ

Regardless of how it may seem on the surface, there are jobs growing across the Great Garden State. Some of those positions are well sought after, while others just aren't that glamorous.

Now yes, it's also true that some jobs were lost, but that is at no fault of the employees. Sometimes a business might close due to economic conditions, while at other times it might just be personal. Think about how many small businesses close simply because the owners are retiring.

The bottom line here is that there will always be jobs out there that unfortunately go away. It's just what's going to happen, and it's very unfortunate.

On the flip side, some career paths are growing, and it's that positive side we're going to focus on for us here in the Great Garden State.

One thing to note about this list of the 50 fastest-growing jobs in New Jersey is that it doesn't yet include data from 2024. But it does highlight the trends that have been underway, which is key.

What's most interesting here, however, is the job that's been trending with the most growth in New Jersey. The career in the number 1 spot saw an increase of 476% alone, according to the 2022-2023 stats (again, the 2024 data isn't included as of now).

When it comes down to it, New Jersey's job market is actually doing pretty well as we head into 2025. From the 50 fastest growing jobs to the 99 highest paid, working in The Garden State definitely has its perks, despite its high cost of living.
