Job-Hunters, here's where to look

If I were job hunting, where would I go? Not to real estate related firms, of course. They're not hiring and as an industry, they're losing money.job-seeker-circling_~GOV084.jpg

So who is hiring?

That's probably the companies making money.

Sageworks, a financial analysis firm that specialize in private company data, gave me this list of five industries with high profit growth rates in the last year. They're healthy and they might be a good target for your job search.

1. Accounting and tax service firms
2. Specialized freight trucking companies (Such as, refrigerated trucks or flatbed trailers) .
3. Other Health practitioners (Not MDs, but chiropractors, physical therapists, etc)
4. Dentists offices
5. Beer, wine and liquor wholesalers.

Each saw profits grow more than 17 percent in the last 12 months. Sales grew between 5 and 11 percent.
