Job Outlook for Healthcare Professionals
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment in healthcare occupations is projected to grow by 13 percent from 2022 to 2032, much faster than the average for all occupations. This growth is expected to result in approximately 2 million new jobs over the decade. This projected growth is mainly due to an aging population, leading to greater demand for healthcare services.
