Two information technology professions made the top 10
fastest changing jobs as well: web developers and computer and information
research scientists. Computer research scientists develop
solutions to problems in the field of computer hardware and software. Companies
in Oregon that employ information research scientists include Intel, Thermo
Fisher Scientific, and Oracle. Jobs in this field require a professional or
doctoral degree and typically pay $145,000 a year.

Web developers and computer research scientists are needed for the complex functions of businesses in the modern world. Even health care needs can be handled online, with doctors communicating primarily by email and web portals. Although health care and information technology jobs are frequently seen as the fastest growing industries, the specific jobs on the list can change, giving us insight into emerging trends.
