            Knowing Java opens doors. Java ranked fourth for most popular programming languages in 2024 according to Tiobe Index. And the US Bureau of Labor Statistics projects a 10% growth in software developer jobs (which includes Java developers) by 2030, much faster than the average for all occupations. This indicates a healthy job market for skilled Java developers in the US (and beyond). Employers put a premium on product managers, designers, marketers, and other professionals with the technical literacy and Java skills to collaborate effectively with development teams.
