Looking for a new job in 2016? Here’s a list of in-demand jobs so you can have a starting point for your job search.

If you’re looking for a new job in 2016 and aren’t sure where to start, you’re in luck. CareerBuilder — in partnership with Economic Modeling Specialists Intl.— has put together a list of jobs that require a college degree as well as jobs that don’t, so you can have a starting point for your job search.

According to Matt Ferguson, CEO of CareerBuilder and co-author of “The Talent Equation:” “For over 100 occupations in the U.S., there is far more job posting activity than hiring month to month. While many of these jobs are in the technology and health care sectors, there are also plenty of opportunities in areas such as marketing, sales and transportation.”

So if you have a college degree, take a look at these occupations that are in demand:
