I found this to be very interesting data from Yahoo Hot Jobs:
Where the Jobs Are.
"Health care is one of the fastest growing industries in the nation. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), over the next eight years health care job openings are expected to grow twice as fast as those in all other sectors of the economy combined.
In fact, seven of the top twenty fastest-growing careers are in health care. Here's where the opportunities are (with data from BLS):
1. Home care aide
Expected job growth: 53%
There are minimal requirements to become a home care aide -- and it's one of the most in-demand jobs in the country.
2. Medical assistants
Expected job growth: 36%
Medical assistants help with essential administrative and clinical tasks that keep hospitals and clinics running smoothly.
3. Physical therapists and physical therapist assistants
Expected job growth: 33%
Physical therapists help people recover from injuries and prevent permanent physical disabilities. While becoming a physical therapist requires a master's degree, you can get certified as a physical therapist assistant in just two years and begin earning $44,762 to $61,139 a year right away.
7. Occupational Therapists
Expected job growth: 29%
Occupational therapists help people with mental or physical disabilities develop or recover the skills they need for work and daily living."
Interesting, huh?
I have a number of certified Physical Therapists and Occupational Therapists looking for a new job and if you know of any clinic looking to hire, send them my way and get a referral commission.
