# Top six recruiting industries

Written by: [Innovative Employee Solutions](https://blog.innovativeemployeesolutions.com/ies-blog-nb-24/author/innovativeemployeesolutions)

While the global employment market has lost roughly 27 million jobs over the past three years, [HR administration](http://innovativeemployeesolutions.com/wp/hr-administration/) services are looking to some industries that are reversely booming with opportunity, according to a recent forecast by FindEmployment.

The online recruiting service states the following sectors will be increasing employment over the new few years.

**1. Technology**. FindEmployment reports this sector is growing immensely all over the world, as the industry in India alone is expected to be worth $225 billion by 2020, employing 30 million people.

**2. Natural resources.** Oil, gas, energy and mining are all prospering after notable declines in recent years.

**3. Financial.** The forecast predicts hiring increases in pensions, insurance and retirement advisors as baby boomers near the end of their careers.

**4. Health.** Home health care in particular is seeing more jobs.

**5. Green energy.** Solar power manufacturing and distribution is growing quickly in the U.S. and in Europe.

**6. Retail.** With the recent example of Cyber Monday's importance, online retail is booming.

HR services already confront the challenge of reconciling a globally expanding workforce while fostering a company community. As employment in these diverse sectors expands, companies will have to be more competitive to attract and retain the best talent.
