I don't really agree with that list. Paralegal? - I thought the legal profession is overloaded with lawyers, so to get any money, some will work as a paralegal.

#5
Computer Software Developer can mean a lot of things, the description here is way too vague in my opinion.

#4
PR specialists are a dime a dozen. I don't think demand is too high in marketing in general, or you are up against a huge pool of applicants to compete for that one job opening.

This list is not very useful. The authors should have listed more trades' types of jobs where demand does stay high in most areas of the US: truck driving, plumbing, HVAC specialists, and probably more I cannot think of.

I am not sure these articles are too accurate. I know people who graduated from a MA program and cannot find a job, nursing too.

Yes. The author definitely should have racked and stacked trade type jobs.

During 2012 all I saw was accountant job postings which made wished I went to school for accounting.

I swear they put out a new "hot jobs" article every other week. And they are usually a joke because they will mix low-paid jobs like customer service in there.

This is the same publication that just a week or two ago claimed that a BA in Communications was a highly coveted degree...

Yahoo career articles tend not to be very useful and that link reflects that.
