What are the fastest/best growing jobs for entry-level jobs?

This study by Indeed looked at entry-level roles (with an average salary of more than $40,000) to find those with the strongest demand across the US. Entry-level jobs were defined as those require no more than three years of experience, and demand was measured by assessing the growth in the share of postings for each role from September to February compared with the same period the year prior.

The top 3 college jobs are not nearly as sexy as years past (sales representative, transportation coordinator and quality auditor) and the average salary for the college grad was $69,000. For non-grads the average salary was $54,200.

As has been noted by many, trades make some great career paths now with faster-than-average rising salaries and high demand, while college degrees might have reached oversaturation in some fields. A problem that some see as one of the causes of recent sociopolitical stress as many educated people cannot find work in their field and turn to protests/political disenfranchisement.
