Careers Serving Muslims: A Fast-Growing Need (airs on Work with Marty Nemko, 10/7/12)

Muslims may be the fastest-growing group in America--expected to double by 2030 to 6.2 million in the U.S., 120 million in the Bay Area alone, 1.1 billion worldwide.

I offered opinions on addressing issues related to Muslims in the workplace, ideas for careers and businesses that serve Muslims, and ideas on how best to appeal to Muslim consumers. Plus I did three-minute career makeovers on callers.

Work with Marty Nemko is heard Sundays from 11 am to noon on KALW, 91.7 FM San Francisco.

Marty Nemko was called "job coach extraordinaire" by U.S. News and "The Bay Area's best career coach" by the San Francisco Bay Guardian. He has written 20 essays in TIME's Ideas section, and 1240 for PsychologyToday.com. Previously, his career column appeared for six years in the San Francisco Chronicle and then wrote The Big Idea continuing series on WashingtonPost.com and the Working it Out column on TheAtlantic.com.
