Jobs in the health-care and environmental sectors are growing at a faster rate than those of the U.S. economy as a whole, President Barack Obama’s Council of Economic Advisers will say in a report to be released today, Reuters reported.

The report, “Preparing the Workers of Today for the Jobs of Tomorrow,” looks at how the U.S. labor market is expected to develop in the next few years and says a rebound in employment in construction and some manufacturing sectors is expected as stimulus spending approved early this year invests in projects around the country.

A White House official said the report is based on an analysis of recent labor-market data. It identifies likely changes in the U.S. job market as economic drivers shift from sectors such as financial services to the growing sectors that are transforming the economy, the official said.

Obama said in an opinion piece Sunday in The Washington Post that he would be talking this week about how to ensure workers have the skills needed to compete for the jobs of the future.

“In an economy where jobs requiring at least an associate’s degree are projected to grow twice as fast as jobs requiring no college experience, it’s never been more essential to continue education and training after high school,” he wrote. Obama has said he wants the United States to lead the world in college degrees by 2020.

“We believe it’s time to reform our community colleges so that they provide Americans of all ages a chance to learn the skills and knowledge necessary to compete for the jobs of the future,” Obama wrote.
