Due to the economy crisis, many business jobs are getting cut left and right all over the country, but healthcare is actually hiring.
Even though the amount of employees on nonfarm payrolls fell by more than 2 million between December ’07 and December ’08, the healthcare portion added an astonishing 30,000 jobs.
These numbers included more than 14,000 jobs in ambulatory healthcare services, almost 12,000 hospital jobs, 5000 jobs in home and health services and 5,500 in residential care facilities and nursing homes.
Because of the population getting older and new federal money being brought in to support healthcare, the growth is expected to continue.
