Not every industry was decimated by the recession, in fact some areas of the economy are thriving.
经济衰退并没有摧毁每一个行业,事实上国民经济中的某些行业正涌现蓬勃发展的势头。
As a counterpoint to a recent report on the the top 10 dying industries, research firm IBIS World has released a list of the top 10 fastest-growing industries.
Bloomberg News风力发电被认为是朝阳行业之一。为了呼应前段时间推出的《美国十大行将就木行业》的报告,研究机构IBIS World发布了《美国十大增长最快的行业》报告。
Unsurprisingly, the list is led by the tech and environmental sectors, which take up eight of the ten spots. There's some good news for some of those in the top 10 dying industries. While wired telecom carriers dominated the dying list, voice over Internet protocol leads the list of thriving industries, illustrating the shift from one technology to another. Similarly, while newspaper publishers are among the dying industries, Internet publishers are counted with the thrivers.
不出所料,上榜的主要是高科技和环保等行业,在前十名中占据了八席。对于十大行将就木的某些行业来说,也有一些好消息。尽管固定电话运营商荣登十大没落行业的榜首,但网络电话(VoIP)却是十大朝阳行业之首,这表明通讯技术形态正在发生转变。与此类似的,尽管报纸出版业在垂死挣扎,但互联网出版业却欣欣向荣。
Meanwhile, demographic shifts are also adding to the list of fastest-growing industries. Insurance-claims adjusters are in a growing sector as the Baby Boom generation ages. Unfortunately, a growing population also increases the need for prison guards, as correctional facilities make the list of thriving industries.
与此同时,人口结构的变化也在影响十大朝阳行业的名单。随着婴儿潮出生的一代步入老年,保险理赔业成为了发展最快的一个行业。不幸的是,人口的增加也推高了对狱警的需求,狱政管理正成为一个朝阳行业。
这十大行业包括:网络电话、风力发电、电子商务和在线拍卖、环评合规咨询、生物技术、电子游戏、太阳能发电、保险业第三方管理机构及保险理赔业、狱政管理、互联网出版和广播电视业。
