Truckers, techies, marketing mavens and clinicians among occupations to consider based on supply and demand



Looking for a new job in the New Year? CareerBuilder partnered with Economic Modeling Specialists Intl. to compile a list of hot jobs for 2015 based on supply and demand.



The list features occupations for which the number of jobs companies post each month significantly outpaces the number of people they're actually able to hire, showing where companies are hungry for talent and how much the positions pay.



CareerBuilder and EMSI looked at the average number of people hired per month in more than 700 occupations from January 2013 to August 2014 and compared that to the number of job postings for each occupation aggregated from online job sites for the same period.



Among occupations that require a college education and have the largest gap between job openings and hires are:



Marketing Executive


Software Developer, Applications


Registered Nurse


Industrial Engineer


Network and Computer System Administrator


Web Developer


Medical and Health Services Manager


Physical Therapist


Speech-Language Pathologist


Sales Manager



Among occupations that don't require a college degree, but have gaps between job openings and hires are:



Truck Driver, Heavy and Tractor-Trailer


Merchandise Displayer and Window Trimmer


Orderly


Sales Representative, Wholesale and Manufacturing


Purchasing Manager


Medical Records and Health Information Technician


Telemarketer


Demonstrator and Product Promoter



Some occupations may require additional training after high school.
