Rapid Job Growth Predicted in Automotive, IT, and Manufacturing Sectors

• According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the demand for automotive engineers is expected to grow 13% from 2020 to 2030, much faster than the average for all occupations.

• The demand for IT workers is also expected to grow rapidly, with 11% job growth projected from 2020 to 2030.

• The IT industry is also growing rapidly, as businesses of all sizes are investing in new technologies. This growth is creating new opportunities for skilled workers in areas such as cybersecurity, cloud computing, and data analytics.

• The manufacturing sector is undergoing a resurgence, as businesses are looking to bring manufacturing jobs back to the United States. This resurgence is creating new opportunities for skilled workers in areas such as robotics, automation, and quality control.

Belle Isle has added two new fast-charging stations for electric vehicles. The chargers are supplied by solar and wind energy and can fully charge a car's battery in as little as 10 minutes. The charging isn't free, however, and it could cost around $50 to fully charge one's car on the island. The chargers are part of a larger project to add EV chargers to other state parks in Michigan.
