Graduates with a bachelor’s degree in psychology have great chances for success working in West Virginia. West Virginia’s economy has been growing annually, according to West Virginia Labor Market Information, even during the recent recession when most state’s economies were shrinking. As West Virginia’s economy has evolved from a mining and agrarian based economy to a service, tourism, and technology-based economy, the need for individuals with four-year degrees has increased significantly.
Psychology graduates’ skills in critical thinking, problem solving and complex communication are predicted to be most in demand. The state’s energy, biotech, and chemical production industries remain strong, but individuals with expertise in an area like psychology are needed in management, organizational development, recruiting, training, and corporate health, as the mid-skill level jobs are shrinking. Industries such as metals, automotive and aerospace in the state are in a similar need for skilled workers.
Psychology graduates are also needed in the state’s expanding tourism, health care, education and social service industries. Graduates with bachelor degrees in psychology are in a position to work in secondary and post-secondary education, in administration, early childhood development, special or adult education, or any number of specializations in education in the state. Some graduates may choose to work in health and human services as well. The skills learned in school regarding mental health, human behavior, interpersonal communication and problem solving are applicable in any industry in West Virginia dealing with and helping people.
