U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Openings: Employment Projections, the average a year over the ten-year projection, counting new jobs and replacements for workers who retire or change occupation. Women and men: Palanor calculation, openings times each sex's share of the occupation's workers in the Current Population Survey for the projection's base year, so they show who would fill the openings if each occupation hires in today's mix. The CPS has no separate rows for restaurant cooks, heavy truck drivers or security guards; their shares are for all cooks, all truck drivers and guards with gambling surveillance officers.

The same split for every major occupation group. Food service, office support, sales and transportation have the most openings; healthcare support and office work lean heavily toward women, construction, repair and transportation toward men.
