New Year’s Career Resolution – Being Prepared

Based on recent research, working in healthcare community should bring a certain level of security in uncertain times. After all, healthcare job opportunities grew by nearly 26 percent in this decade and now make up fully 13.9 percent of all U.S. jobs, up from 11.5 percent in 2000. The health care services sector – doctors offices, hospitals, home health care, nursing homes, specialty clinics – have been largely immune to the downturn that officially began a year ago. In November, the month after the stock market crash, every one of those sub-sectors of the health care economy added jobs. This is an amazing fact. (Goozner, The Healthcare Blog)

There are no specific signs yet that the economic downturn is affecting health care but while you may feel your job is secure at the moment, in unpredictable times nothing is certain. Click here to learn how to increase your chances of weathering any workplace storm.
