Identify the major contributors/companies in your career field.

As you near graduation, it is important to consider where you want your career path to go. Perhaps you are already working in aviation and would like a position in management or maybe you have never worked in aviation. Either way, knowing where you want to go is the first step in plotting a path to get you there.
Scenario
Consider that you are a writer for a widely distributed aviation magazine. Your boss has charged you with writing an article on employment trends in the industry. For example: If you want to be an Aviation Maintenance Technician are there any gaps or surpluses in that field? If so, where are they?
Your article must be 2-3 pages, not including the title page and reference page. Through the lens of your chosen career field address the following elements:
Identify the major contributors/companies in your career field.
Which of these companies are currently/actively hiring?
Examine the impact of employment trends on the industry, explaining what it means for those just entering the field.
Explain gaps or surpluses in that field.
APA format required.
