[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]A new research study from Georgetown University reports there are over 30 million favorable jobs that do not require a four-year college degree.

Yes, it is harder to experience a middle-class life without a college degree than it was a few years ago but, there are still great opportunities for those who do not want to be in debt with college loans. “Good jobs” are defined from Georgetown University as those with an average pay of $55,000 annually, $35,000 for those under 45, and $45,000 for those 45 and older. With the many opportunities for jobs in the United States, USAFIS will help you file your application to participate in the Green Card Lottery to be able to receive a work visa.

These “good jobs” make up almost a fourth of all jobs in the U.S. They are increasing in skilled services, such as leisure and hospitality and healthcare, according to a director of research, Jeff Strohl. Blue collar industries like transportation, construction, and manufacturing are decreasing, although there are many jobs in these industries. This growth is expected to continue in the U.S.

A variety of states saw an increase in positions not requiring a college degree and still pay well. Georgia saw a 118% increase and gained 232,000 jobs. The median earnings were $54,000. Texas had 648,000 new positions added in well-paid skilled service jobs, while blue collar jobs saw a 26% increase. The median salary is $57,000.

Other states in the U.S. that saw growth in these types of jobs are Oklahoma, Utah, South Dakota, North Dakota, Idaho, and Montana. There are so many opportunities for employment without a college degree. Now is the time to start the process of immigrating to the U.S. by contacting USAFIS today.
