Professional trends show growth in athletic training and home renovations

Athletic trainer employment is projected by the Bureau of Labor Statistics to increase by 13% between 2025 and 2035. To maintain certification, trainers must complete 50 continuing education units (CEUs) every two years, including 10 in Category A, and keep Emergency Cardiac Care certification current. Professionals are encouraged to use short, on-demand online modules to manage learning during busy competitive seasons.

In the housing sector, homeowners are increasingly moving away from 'good enough' home features that no longer meet modern standards. Data from Redfin indicates that 43% of American homeowners renovated their homes in the past year, with 33% planning to do so in the coming year. Upgrades often focus on improving functionality, energy efficiency, and layout to accommodate modern lifestyle needs and avoid the high costs associated with moving.
