The top 5:
1: Software engineer
2: Mathematician
3: Actuary
4: Statistician
5: Computer systems analyst

All of them are math-intensive fields.

If your kids are young, what are they studying?
If your kids are considering college majors, what are they choosing?

You are suggesting that kids should chart their educational paths based upon what the best jobs are going to be this year.

Just how does that method of planning help them?

FWIW, the current Department of Labor occupational handbook is available here and projections for future job growth are there.
