One of the most stable jobs ever Health care!

One of the jobs that seems to be showing an enormous amount of promise is health care. They are growing and growing. I hope this does not become another bubble type situation. Either way it is moving up an up with no signs of slowing down. The population does not seem to be slowing down at all so I am sure that no matter what happens this industry will be fine. Here is the health care statistics from market watch. Don't forget to subscribe for good info. Thanks.

Doctor, doctor, give me the news

The medical profession didn’t slow down much even during the worst of the 2007-2009 downturn. The health-care industry generated 1.02 million jobs in the past four years and remains one of the fastest growing parts of the economy. It now employs 14.57 million people.
Or how about this. The health-care industry has added jobs every year since the government first began to keep track in 1990. The average pay is also pretty darn good: $26.53 an hour ($55,000 a year).
Clearly a large slice of the hiring reflects the aging of the Baby Boomers and the need for health providers to cater to their needs. The advent of “Obamacare,” the president’s signature health reform law, is also likely to boost employment.
The high cost of health care, however, is also a drag on the economy. Consumers have to fork over a greater share of their income on doctors, hospitals and drug prescriptions and have less to spend on other goods and services.
