 Now IBIS World is out with a new report (pdf) on the 10 fastest-growing industries:

1. Generic pharmaceuticals
2. Solar panel manufacturing
3. For-profit universities
4. Pilates and yoga studios
5. Self-tanning product manufacturing
6. 3-D printer manufacturing
7. Social network game development
8. Hot sauce production
9. Green and sustainable building construction
10. Online eyeglasses sales

Now, note that not all of these industries are strictly comparable. Generic pharmaceuticals manufacturing is an enormous, $52 billion-a-year industry — which has been growing for 10 years straight as health care costs swell. Meanwhile, online eyeglasses sales is a much tinier sector, with just $348 million in revenue in 2012. Still, the rapid growth of all these industries tell us a few interesting things about the economy

This list also explains why this country is fucked.

    It does? The country is fucked because we like hot sauce and developing nano-technology?
