- gwill 3y agowhat do you mean by "biggest career"?
- dboreham 3y agoProbably: participants multiplied by average gross income?
- macintux 3y agoNot the person you’re replying to, but if you add light and heavy trucks it looks like the only comparable career by number of employees is home health care. https://www.bls.gov/emp/tables/occupations-most-job-growth.htm https://www.bls.gov/emp/tables/occupations-most-job-growth.h...
- mattmaroon 3y agoThat table is showing top occupations by growth, not by total amount, so it could leave out large but not growing occupations. There are more teachers than truckers (if my quick lazy google is correct) for instance, but it isn’t on that table.
