The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics showed that jobs in the STEM career field are projected to grow 8% by 2029, compared to the 3.7% increase for total occupations.
With the growth seen in various STEM fields throughout the United States, more people have begun to realize the importance of jobs in the science, technology, engineering, and math fields. To fill these jobs and continue the forward progress of the nation, more students are going into STEM subjects in college.
