If you look at that data, a TON of majors are in the healthcare field. Even pharmaceutical companies have done well, when you consider the recession. If I had to pick a single industry that looks best to get into, it would be healthcare, hands down. However, if you don't have the interest or skills for that (like myself) there are tons of other choices.
Keep in mind that getting a degree is almost always a good financial choice, ESPECIALLY for people like us who do it smart at a fraction of the cost. Choosing a good major maximizes this benefit, but don't forget to do something you love. You can't put a price tag on job satisfaction and happiness.
