The following 25 jobs are among those listed by the U.S. Department of Labor projections as “Bright Outlook Occupations,” meaning there are many open positions now, the number of jobs is expected to grow over the next nine years, or both. From that list, AARP focused on roles that have been popular with older workers or do not require extensive training to get hired. The list is presented in alphabetical order. All wage data is from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).
