Future Jobs-O-Matic

The Future Jobs-O-Matic is a new college and career planning tool built by American Public Media's radio show Marketplace.  Using current economic information and projections for next 10 years, over 250 careers are analyzed. Users can find out which fields are growing and shrinking, and which pay the most. It is a slick-looking gadget that is backed up by real data. 

(I was happy to see that, despite people's love of Google and Wikipedia, that the Future Jobs-O-Matic says the field of librarianship will see a small amount of growth in the next 10 years. We're not obsolete!!!)
