• Industries and occupations related to health care, personal care and social assistance are projected to have the fastest job growth between 2010 and 2020, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported.
• Nearly 70 percent of Americans are overweight or obese, a dramatic rise over the past 50 years
• Employment of fitness workers is expected to increase 27 percent over the 2006-2016 decade, much faster than the average for all occupations
