To determine which occupation listed is projected to have the greatest total number of jobs in 2016, we will analyze each occupation's total projected number of jobs for that year.
We refer to the table provided and look at the total number of jobs projected for 2016 for each of the occupations given in the list:
1. Computer software engineers, applications: Projected jobs = 733,000
2. Veterinary technologists and technicians: Projected jobs = 100,000
3. Personal financial advisors: Projected jobs = 248,000
4. Makeup artists, theatrical and performance: Projected jobs = 3,000
5. Medical assistants: Projected jobs = 565,000
6. Veterinarians: Projected jobs = 84,000
7. Substance abuse and behavioral disorder counselors: Projected jobs = 112,000
To identify the occupation with the highest projected number, we compare the numbers:
- Computer software engineers, applications: 733,000
- Veterinary technologists and technicians: 100,000
- Personal financial advisors: 248,000
- Makeup artists, theatrical and performance: 3,000
