To determine which occupational group has the strongest outlook based on the projected percent change in employment from 2014 to 2024, we need to compare the given percent changes for each occupational group:

1. Healthcare support: 23%
2. Healthcare practitioners and technical: 16%
3. Personal care and service: 13%
4. Computer and mathematical: 13%
5. Community and social service: 10%
6. Production: -3%
7. Farming, fishing, and forestry: -6%

The strongest outlook corresponds to the occupational group with the highest positive percentage change. After reviewing the given percent changes, we find that:

- Healthcare support has the highest growth projection with a percent change of 23%.

Therefore, the occupational group with the strongest outlook is:

Healthcare support
