Employment Opportunity for Business Administration
"Overall employment is projected to grow by 17 percent between 2006 and 2016, faster than the average for all occupations. Legislation and court rulings setting standards in various areas— ;occupational safety and health, equal employment opportunity, wages, health care, pensions, and family leave, among others— ;will increase demand for human resources, training, and labor relations experts. Rising health care costs should continue to spur demand for specialists to develop creative compensation and benefits packages that firms can offer prospective employees. "
