The impending presidency of Donald Trump brings with it a lot of economic uncertainty; more so than with any other president of the recent past. As regards to jobs, the president-elect has had a strong start with the recent retention of 800 jobs at the Carrier furnace plant in Indianapolis.

Despite it seeming to be a step in the right direction, the initiative has been mired in controversy as some view the substantial tax cuts incentive offered to the company as essentially being bribes.

However one chooses to look at it, it is evident that Trump means business and will likely cause ripples in the economy that will affect lots of workers. So who will be the winners in 2017? Here are some sectors that will probably experience strong growth.

Manufacturing

Mr. Trump’s shock victory was helped in no small way by his appeal to blue collar workers who fear that they are on the cusp of losing their jobs to China and countries with cheap labor.

On the campaign trail, Mr. Trump was unambiguous on the detrimental effect that China has had on the American economy by taking jobs from hard working Americans.

He promised to threaten American-based companies with ‘consequences’ should they seek to outsource to China. This will of course please the 12 million Americans working in manufacturing and others looking to work in the industry.

Marketing

If the utterances of leading economists are anything to go by, we are headed for tumultuous times and it will be difficult to navigate an economy plagued by so much skepticism and pessimism. In such a hostile climate, businesses will more than ever seek to gain an edge over competitors.

Therefore one of the key areas businesses will want to expand is their marketing division, because a good marketing team can mean the difference between success and failure.

According to the Arizona State University online marketing degree program, a marketing team develops strategies and tactics that places a firm’s product firmly in the public’s eye with a clever combination of advertising, pricing, market analysis and some input in product development.

We can expect more and more companies hiring students with an online bachelor of science in marketing to fill the demand.

Law Enforcement and Border Patrol

Mr. Trump’s campaign was centered round immigration issues and the ill effects brought by what he viewed as the rampant influx of immigrants. He spoke of the rising crime rates and incidents of terrorism that foreigners have inflicted upon the nation.

To curb these ill effects, Trump espoused some extreme measures that included a massive deportation exercise and a serious crackdown on illegal border crossing.

If all of this is to be carried out, it will require a considerable mobilization of law enforcement agencies, which will lead to a profusion of jobs in that sector.

Journalism

The presidency of Donald Trump will definitely be an interesting one and media houses will have no shortage of content to publish as the man hops from one scandal to another.

Not only that, but with Trump promoting dangerous incendiary opinions, journalists will have a key role to play in the coming years in terms of shaping public opinion and uniting society. It is in a time like this that free media thrives and that means jobs for aspiring journalists.

Trump has outlined an ambitious vision of creating 25 million new jobs over the next decade. The question is now whether or not he is capable of pulling off such as feat. Only time will tell.
