Cosmetology Makes 2009 Best Careers List of U.S. News & World Report

Fri, 5 Jun 2009 09:15:00 EST

US News and World Report has just released its Best Careers issue and Cosmetology has once again made the newsmagazine's top 30 careers for 2009 scoring high in job satisfaction and employment outlook. Cosmetology debuted for the first time last year after the magazine opened up the list to careers that do not require a college degree.

In 2008, the magazine recognized that the U.S. job scene has been changing for a long time. Increasingly, bachelor's degree holders have been experiencing increased difficulty finding jobs, mainly because companies continue to send business and technical professional jobs "offshore." Secondly, as the majority of high school teachers push students to go to college, there's a decreasing supply of professional services workers, skilled in the arts and crafts. Therefore, the changing work environment has seen a significant demand for women and men with a career-focused education whose abilities stand out in the arts and crafts - just like Cosmetology and Esthetics.
