What are the top-hiring job fields in Illinois right now?

Answer:
The industry which appears to be doing the most hiring

right now in Illinois is Healthcare. This includes everything from doctors and nurses to pharmacists, office managers, and health care companies.

The next four, in order of most advertised positions, are Retail, Sales (including Sales Managers), Information Technology (and Software and Computer Systems), and Accounting and Finance.

Filling out the top ten fields which are advertising available jobs right now are Engineering (an umbrella covering all types of engineers), Drivers (as in truck drivers and delivery truck drivers), Wireless/Mobile (meaning anything to do with wireless service, from technicians to sales representatives), Advertising (and Marketing and PR), and Real Estate and Mortgages (including mortgage brokers, underwriters, and appraisers).

Most of these careers require schooling, and the top hiring field right now, healthcare, will usually need at least an Associates Degree (a two-year degree) in your chosen field (nursing, nursing assistant, nursing technician) before you can apply. Some of these jobs like truck driving and retail/sales are more on-the-job type skills rather than those requiring previous education. When searching for current hiring jobs, try websites like this one: www.topusajobs.com, and be aware that some of the more popular careers from the past, like education, are not hiring much at all right now.
