Fastest Growing Occupations List Raises Questions
Amazon Inc.'s plan to upskill employees claims that several occupations are growing at phenomenal rates. The fastest growing, what Amazon dubs "data mapping specialist," may point to Amazon's efforts to improve delivery times. The company's second fastest growing occupation is data scientist.
