Good news for HR professionals!

That, according to this recent poll from CareerBuilder and EMSI, ranking the best jobs for 2013 requiring a bachelor’s degree.

Coming in at #5 was “Human Resources, Training and Labor Relations Specialists.” The numbers reflect that the profession has added 22,773 jobs since 2010, which represents 5% growth. Matt Ferguson, CEO of CareerBuilder, believes that the study results indicate that “[w]here the U.S. will produce the most jobs in 2013 is likely to follow growth patterns of the last few years.”

So, if you are a transitioning human resources professional, hold your head up, and keep plugging away. Hopefully, blue skies lie ahead.
