Hottest Growth Industries Report Provides Insight into the Next Decade of America's Economic Evolution
SCHAUMBURG, Ill. --(Business Wire)--
Zurich in North America today released a new report highlighting what
are anticipated to be the next decade's Hottest Growth Industries, in
collaboration with Philip Auerswald, an Associate Professor at George
Mason University, adviser to the Clinton Global Initiative, and the
founding president of the National Center for Entrepreneurship and
Innovation.
This report, "Growth Opportunities for the American Worker: Hottest
Growth Industries by Decade: 1890-2020," seeks insight into the next
decade of America's economic evolution by revisiting 10 prior decades of
industrial change and helps provide some perspective around how past
trends can help predict future job creation and business growth. The
findings suggest that history is slightly repeating itself as
manufacturing, energy and agriculture industries are projected to once
again become hot categories. In addition, changes in technology will
transform services and the ways in which people keep themselves healthy.
Zurich sponsored the report after celebrating 100 years in the United
States. After becoming one of the first continental European casualty
insurers in the United States, Zurich had a simple goal: to help a
growing country, grow even more. Today, the United States is four times
more populous and more than 30 times more prosperous than it was a
century ago and this report is a reflection of how the company continues
to look ahead to identify emerging areas of growth.
