During the past few years – years that some economists have called “The Great Recession” - jobs have been scarce, yet those with a master’s degree in psychology haven’t experienced the same type of career downturn as many other job seekers.
The U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics attributes this positive outlook for psychology professionals to an economy shifting from manufacturing to service, and social service or assistance jobs in particular.
The BLS predicts that between the years 2008 and 2018, social assistance jobs will increase by 4 million. These types of jobs include many labeled “helping” careers -those mainly identified as careers for psychology professionals.
Oklahoma’s economists report similar findings for job growth within the State. Jobs for “Community and Social Service Occupations” in Oklahoma have grown at 23.52% between 2000 and 2010.
Employers in this growing jobs sector include residential homes, correctional facilities, public and private healthcare organizations, counseling centers, halfway houses, and other corporations and nonprofit organizations. Those with master’s degrees are considered before others, as employers value an individual’s commitment to expanding one’s knowledge through an advanced degree.
