While South Dakota still makes up a large portion of its income from natural resources, farming and ranching—livestock, corn, soybeans, wheat, as well as ore mining—the economy is driven today by service sector jobs including retail, finance, and health care, creating more jobs for students of social sciences.
While graduates with bachelor’s degrees in psychology are employed in every sector of the state economy, from universities to manufacturing facilities, one of the South Dakota’s largest growth sectors for psychology graduates is social services.
Psychology graduates commonly find employment in the area of social assistance—a field the Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates is growing at a rate of 11% per year—in government agencies, private philanthropic groups, and non-profit organizations. Community food and housing for individuals displaced by natural disasters, vocational rehabilitation for people whose jobs have become obsolete, and individual and family services and social work for individuals struggling with addiction, broken homes, or family trauma are all places psychology graduates find themselves utilizing their education and giving back to others.
Graduates are well suited for these positions due to their understanding of human needs and human behavior, their skills in interpersonal communications, and their general interest in improving lives. Social service jobs in South Dakota are critical not only to the community but are also important building blocks for any career in the field of psychology.
