WASHINGTON, June 12, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- As the U.S. job market adapts to the needs of the future, Gallup and Amazon partnered to create The Careers of the Future Index (CFI), providing transparent and data-driven information on careers with the most potential growth. The CFI combines the most recent career-level data on income, job growth, job vacancies per job seeker and resistance to automation. It conveys the economic strengths and weaknesses of various career paths and highlights careers that both pay well and are likely to be available to applicants now and in the future.

Key Points:

The results vary based on gender — male students are more likely than female students to not know what career they want (28% versus 15%, respectively).
Amazon Future Engineer, Amazon's global philanthropic computer science education program, commissioned the CFI to provide young adults and their advisers with supported guidance about the economic prospects of jobs in the U.S.
"Many young people have misconceptions about viable careers or aren't even sure what careers are available to them," said Jonathan Rothwell, principal economist at Gallup.
This category has a CFI score of 75, landing in the top 25th percentile and being a promising career prospect.
