If you are looking for a career that with an excellent job growth outlook then look no further. The health care industry is booming.
Want to take advantage of the growing career opportunities in health care? Now is the time to start preparing, as the industry is showing no signs of slowing down. “Whether the economy is up or down, people’s need for health care doesn’t change,” says Andrea Santiago, About.com’s Guide to Health Careers. In May alone the industry added 33,000 new jobs, bringing the over-the-year health care employment to 340,000, according to the U.S. Department of Labor’s “Employment Situation Summary” released in June. According to Santiago, factors leading to the demand in health care include “an industry-wide shift in focus to preventative care, combined with a growing need for diagnostic and therapeutic care among the older baby boomer generation.”
