Michigan’s hot 50 jobs through 2032: High demand in STEM fields, changing workforce trends

Michigan’s workforce is set for a significant shift over the next decade, according to a recent report from the Michigan Center for Data and Analytics (MCDA). The “Michigan Hot 50 Job Outlook through 2032” highlights the state’s fastest-growing jobs, with a focus on fields requiring specialized skills and higher education. The report ranks the top 50 jobs in Michigan based on projected job growth, median wages, and the number of available openings. The data is drawn from state and federal sources to provide valuable insights for policymakers. Among the top 50, heavy and tractor-trailer truck drivers are projected to have over 6,400 new positions. Other notable jobs include registered nurses with nearly 6,000 projected openings and software developers, with more than 3,300 openings. Michigan’s workforce will also see a high demand for jobs within STEM fields over the next decade. At the same time, jobs that have traditionally had lower barriers to entry—such as those with shorter training periods—are declining. MCDA Research Manager Evan Linskey pointed to technological advancements, which are automating certain tasks, making these positions less viable in the long term. One Detroit producer Will Glover sat down with Linskey to discuss Michigan’s evolving job market and economic landscape.

Future of work report addresses the state of small business in the Detroit area

Detroit Future City released a report in May that examined the challenges and goals for small and micro-sized businesses in the Detroit region. The report said 37 percent of respondents’ businesses were one to three years old. It also highlighted top challenges local small businesses face, including access to capital and navigating the cost of capital. Another report recently released was the 2024 Entrepreneurship Score Card from the Small Business Association of Michigan. Key findings from the report show that while there was an increase in small business formation and technological employment, the state grapples with declining labor force participation and widening income disparities with the national average. One Detroit’s Will Glover talks with Tech Town President and CEO Ned Staebler about the health of the local small business economy.
