Human services jobs are those that relate to families and human needs. Persons who work in human services provide a variety of social assistance to children, elderly people, people with disabilities, and others. The sector includes counseling, mental health services, family and community services, personal care, and customer service. Human services is growing fast. Jobs are projected to increase 5.5% each year between 2010 and 2020, making it the second-fastest growing sector during this period, just behind home healthcare services. Human services are growing fast because of the rising number of people 65 years and older, who are projected to increase from 40 million in 2010 to 55 million in 2020. Also, rising health- care costs are expected to shift services from more costly hospitals and inpatient facilities to less costly individual and family service providers. Along with counseling and community services, human services include jobs related to personal care, such as aestheticians, cosmetologists, and personal trainers. These positions are expected to grow as fast as or faster than average, as most people require their services.
