Your Layoff Could Lead to a Lucrative Healthcare Career
The recession has hit deep and wide unsettling more than 5 million Americans from their steady 9-to 5 jobs. Many employees have found only dead ends in their current industry. But even in these difficult times, the health care industry has managed to add more than 500,000 jobs since December 2007, according to the Wall Street Journal. In all, the health care industry is growing by an average of more than 17,000 jobs a month.
Many of those new employees are victims of layoffs, who have had no prior health care industry experience. These newcomers are applying the job skills they learned in banking, information technology, communications and finance to jobs in the health care industry.
