The transportation sector is growing rapidly, and it's a career field that military veterans should keep their eyes on. Recently, the U.S. Departments of Transportation, Education, and Labor released a joint report on the industry that stated that the industry added 417,000 skilled and semi-skilled job openings from 2012 to 2014, and needed to train and hire 4.6 million new workers over that time alone.
When considering jobs in the transportation sector, it's important to realize how broad it is in terms of different types of jobs, which can include construction, general office clerks, and airline pilots. Furthermore, certain job areas within the transportation sector are expected to grow faster than others.
Below we look at the top 10 jobs according to this report as ranked by projected job openings. We also compare this with current Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) projected growth and median income, so you can best target the jobs that interest you and meet your budget goals.

Sgt Larry Dennis
I am the Veteran representative for Southern refrigerated Transport. I have lots of driving positions for Veterans. I give full credit to Veterans that drove tractor trailers in the military.

Without Transportation in many facets Air, Rail and over the road this Country would come to a screeching halt within days. I have been lucky enough to be involved in Logistics for over 22 years now.........There is definitely much money to be made but hard work is definitely involved. There is also much support staff that is a little less physically demanding.
