Of all industry sectors, healthcare jobs will grow the fastest, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) said
yesterday. In fact, healthcare and social assistance will see an
increase of 5.6 million jobs over the next decade, many of which located
in health practitioner offices.
Between 2010 and 2020, healthcare support occupations will grow 34.5
percent, personal care and services occupations will grow 26.8 percent,
and healthcare practitioners and technical occupations will rise 25.9
percent. Office and administrative support occupations will see the most
new jobs at 2.3 million, although at a projected slower-than-average
growth of 10.3 percent.
