Best Marketing Jobs Sites

Marketing jobs in the areas of advertising, marketing, promotions, public relations, and sales managers are expected to increase faster than the average for other occupations through 2014.

Projected employment growth varies by industry. For example, employment is projected to grow much faster than average in scientific, professional, and related services, such as computer systems design and related services, and in advertising and related services, as businesses increasingly hire contractors for these services instead of additional full-time staff.

By contrast, a decline in employment is expected in many manufacturing industries.

Opportunities should be best for college graduates who combine a degree in journalism, public relations, advertising, or another communications-related field with a public relations internship or other related work experience.

Marketing jobs for public relations specialists are also expected to grow faster than average.

With the increasing demand for corporate accountability, more emphasis will be placed on improving the image of the client, as well as on building public confidence.

Employment in public relations firms should grow as firms hire contractors to provide public relations services rather than support full-time staff.

Jobs for market and survey researchers are expected to grow faster than average. Job opportunities should be best for those with a master’s or Ph.D. degree in marketing or a related field and strong quantitative skills.

Demand for market research analysts should be strong because of an increasingly competitive economy. As companies seek to expand their market and as consumers become better informed, the need for marketing professionals will increase.

In addition, as globalization of the marketplace continues, market researchers will increasingly be utilized to analyze foreign markets and competition for goods and services.

Market research analysts should have the best opportunities in consulting firms and marketing research firms as companies find it more profitable to contract for market research services rather than support their own marketing department.
