Math, Science, and Sci-Fi

Washington State's number one Top Job through 2014 is Mathematics Technicians. This joins a wide array of Information Technology (IT), Veterinary sciences jobs, and Research & Development occupations in Washington's fast-growing high tech industries, government employers, and scientific research facilities.

Washington also is home to the Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame founded by Paul Allen, who invested in Space Ship One to win the X Prize for private space vehicles. Privatized space exploration and space tourism will become an expanding hub of employment in and around the Greater Seattle Area in the next couple of decades
