(EMAILWIRE.COM, November 05, 2009 ) More Jobs in Education and Healthcare Expected
Ft Lauderdale/Miami FL, According to statistics released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), more than 30% of new jobs that will be created in the next tent (10) years will be coming from the healthcare and education sectors. More growth is expected from these sectors in the coming years especially with President Obama pushing for improved availability of healthcare and encouraging Americans to invest more on post-secondary education. In 2008, the education and healthcare sectors added more than half a million jobs to the U.S. economy.
With more than 14 million Americans employed in the healthcare field, it is America’s largest sector of industry, with ambulatory healthcare services accounting for 42%. Hospitals and Nursing facilities account for 35% and 23%, respectively, of all healthcare workers. Over a third of the fastest-growing occupations are in the health care field.
Even though most workers in this industry require less than 4 years of post-secondary education, treating practitioners and health-diagnosing practitioners are among the most educated relative to all other industries.
Registered Nurses (RN) are the most common healthcare profession, and are the single largest source of most jobs in both the healthcare and education sector.
At least a fifth of all Americans are enrolled in one type of school or another, thus making education one of the biggest employers in the country (second only to healthcare). It is expected that there would be many job openings in the education sector in the next 10 years, as almost 50% of all educators are above the age of 45 and nearing retirement age.
Sheila Danzig, the founder of www.Degree.com stated that the education sector stands to benefit directly from the growth in the service economy. As new sectors of industry develop, demand for teachers with technical experience and capability to educate people in the various new disciplines also increase proportionately. Some of the top growth areas in the service economy are in healthcare, information technology and renewable energy.
Workers in the health and education sector such as nurses and teachers can look to advance their careers by enrolling in online degree courses and online healthcare degree programs at online universities such as those found at online degree portal degree.com. Online degrees allow workers to enhance their credentials and improve their chances of job advancement, without sacrificing their careers, as online courses can be taken at home. A teacher for example would typically need a master of education degree in order to take on management and administrative positions. Remember this can all be completed with online study.
