What\u2019s more, the growth rate for this position also increased. For instance, Arizona, Idaho, Utah, Montana and Oregon all saw an increase of more than 100% in these positions in just one year. Many deal with forest management, working mostly in national parks. However, recently, they\u2019ve also been expanding into the private sector and have become instrumental in helping private landowners manage the forests on their own properties. They also assist in controlled burns to avoid wildfires, as well as plant trees to aid in landslide prevention and support natural wildlife habitat.<\/p>\n<p>Granted, these job growth figures only take the first two months of the pandemic into account. But many of the trends that were occurring prior to the pandemic have only been accelerated by it. And, if it wasn\u2019t already, e-commerce is now a permanent staple in our lives. Just like software was already eating the world prior to the pandemic, both it and e-commerce have only accelerated in the last year. Even so, job growth in environmental conservation occupations is encouraging, especially as it seems to be coinciding with a renewed push toward renewable energy, like solar and wind power.<\/p>\n<p>Check out the table below for the fastest-growing jobs by state, complete with total numbers of jobs.<\/p>\n<div class=\"infogram-embed\" data-id=\"353869b8-c94c-424f-9c52-ef8ed5d3a19a\" data-type=\"interactive\" data-title=\"Fast Growing Jobs by State_2020\"><\/div>\n<p><script>!function(e,i,n,s){var t=\"InfogramEmbeds\",d=e.getElementsByTagName(\"script\")[0];if(window[t]&&window[t].initialized)window[t].process&&window[t].process();else if(!e.getElementById(n)){var o=e.createElement(\"script\");o.async=1,o.id=n,o.src=\"https:\/\/e.infogram.com\/js\/dist\/embed-loader-min.js\",d.parentNode.insertBefore(o,d)}}(document,0,\"infogram-async\");<\/script><\/p>\n<h2>Local Delivery &amp; Warehousing Show Strong Industry Growth<\/h2>\n<p>Notably, a slightly more recent BLS report gives us a snapshot of how industries fared overall during Q2 2020.

In particular, the growth in warehousing is striking. The industry added nearly 194,000 jobs between April and June 2020. Additionally, it\u2019s also clear that the pandemic had an effect on economic programs, as well, as jobs in the administration of such programs grew 5% Y-o-Y, adding more than 27,000 jobs nationwide.<\/p>\n<p>Just like the jobs in the previous sections, the acceleration of trends that preceded the pandemic is also occurring in the same industries across the nation \u2014 and around the world.
