Looking for a new career? Try healthcare. After all, with a current deficit of pharmacists, dentists, and other healthcare professionals, the field is likely to grow in the next few decades.

However, for a different industry, the job market outlook isn't as positive. According to data released by McGraw-Hill Construction, construction jobs will face an overall drop due to decreased spending. The number of "construction starts is expected to decline 2%."

"The credit crunch that emerged at mid-2007 continues to be a major concern for construction and the overall economy," said McGraw-Hill Construction Vice President Robert A. Murray.

There is some positive news, though. Murray believes that transportation projects will continue to grow, "financing from public sources will stay generally supportive," and there will be "potential for greater funding" with the growth of public-private partnerships.
