Careers
The demand for many healthcare professions exceeds the supply. With the aging of the American population, a boom in health care employment is expected. The Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts that at least half of the 10 fastest growing occupations will be in health care fields. The Bureau of Labor Statistics also projects tens of thousands of new jobs for hospital workers. In addition, as the healthcare system continues its extraordinary state of transition, many new employment opportunities will occur in areas outside the realm of traditional hospitals.
