The labor force is expected to increase by 10.5 million people between 2016 and 2026, and the work force is expected to swell to 169.7 million, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

But some occupations are expected to grow much more than others, according to the bureau, which has released a list of what it predicts will be the fastest-growing occupations leading into 2026.

As baby boomers continue to age, for example, the workforce is expected to see job growth in primarily in health care and other service-provider industries, according to the bureau.

Changes in energy production are also expected to impact the rate of job growth. The need for solar photovoltaic installers is expected to increase by 105 percent as the expansion of alternative energy technology expands. Similarly, the need for wind turbine technicians is projected to increase 96 percent by 2026 due to rapid expansion in electricity generation.

Service-providing jobs are predicted to account for more than 81 percent of all wage and salaried positions in the economy by 2026. The service sector is also projected to experience the most job growth over the next eight years.

The average growth rate in number of jobs for all occupations is 7 percent, says the BLS.

Here is a list of the fastest growing occupations, in ascending order, based on projected growth in jobs from 2016 to 2026:

Mathematicians use mathematical and statistical information to create solutions in health care, business, engineering and other industries, says the BLS. Typically, these professionals work for private research companies or in the federal government. They often work on teams, which include engineers or scientists. As the volume of digital data continues to increase, the demand for these professionals is expected to grow.
