Is any other industry blowing up as much as web / gaming startups?

Just curious if there is anything even close to the boom we are seeing in the tech / startup world for hiring... I know alternative energy was hot for awhile.

Oil? (boo!!) :)

Central banking. Balance sheets have never been larger.
Daily deal companies are hiring like crazy right now.
location based companies (geolocation apps & stuff), mobile payment companies, and the secondary market.
Old school energy is doing a lot of hiring in parts of the country at places like Siemens.
