Several interesting resources here. You can "Chart Your Course," choose an industry and see both the projected job growth for a variety of careers in that industry and see the median US wage for that industry over several different education levels. Click on a job title and you can get more detailed information; after you click on a title pick a state, and you'll get information about the median wages for that job in that state, a description of the job, and much more detailed job growth statistics. (Click on the TV icon beside a job title to get a short video describing the job and giving a little information on training.) You can also see what's hot; either overall, jobs that don't require a 4-year degree, or jobs that require a 4-year degree or better. Or if you want to concentrate on a state, you can get a list of the hottest occupations by state (Wisconsin needs systems analysts.) Check out the menu on the right for answers to frequently-asked career questions, and check out the tools to use for a list of relevant education and training links.
