The need for animal care and animal service workers is expected to grow faster than other occupations, according to the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics. The Department of Labor cites that the number of job openings will increase by 18 to 26 percent by 2014. The jobs will be found in kennels, doggie daycare centers, pet hotels, grooming shops, animal shelters, veterinary private practices, veterinary clinics, veterinary hospitals, government, and other service industries. Fueling this growth is people's obsession with their pets.
