The Job Outlook in Healthcare
The job outlook in healthcare is extremely promising, with a growth projection of 1.8 million openings each year, due to an aging population, advancements in medical technology and the growth of professionals retiring from the field. “Health Care and Social Assistance” is the leading sector expected to have the highest annual job demand and “Basic Life Support” is the top certification gap in Morris County.*
The healthcare industry offers a wide range of career opportunities, including medical doctors, nurses, technicians, respiratory therapists, radiographers, paramedics, personal trainers, health educators, pharmacists, administrators and more, making it an attractive field for stable employment and opportunities for quick advancement while helping mankind.
