Logistics and supply chain is a business sector that will likely see an 11 percent growth EACH year for the next five years. That incredible growth rate projection means that jobs and long term career opportunities are going to be readily available.
Specifically, hand laborers (order pickers) and material movers (forklift drivers) can expect 7 percent job growth between 2020-’30. While, Storage and distribution managers could see 3.14 percent job growth per year.
If you have a college degree, working as a logistics manager is a terrific position. U.S. News and World Report listed it as the 18th best job on their 2020 Best Business Jobs list. Your bachelor’s degree can help you secure you the highest-paying of these positions. While, the United States’ Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) says that an Associate degree can also help.
If you do not have a college degree, don’t worry: It is still possible to ascend to a managerial role. It may be more challenging and require additional education after high school. This could involve taking classes at a community college or obtaining certification.
