Pharmacy – Looking for a Job? Health Care Is Still a Good Bet
The pharmaceutical industry is undergoing big cuts and the U.S. unemployment rate hit its highest mark since April 1983, but the health-care services sector continues to grow, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The health-care industry added an additional 29,000 jobs in October, nearly the same amount it grew in September. In total, since the start of the recession, the industry has added 597,000 jobs, according to the BLS.
The biggest month-to-month jump came in the category of health care and social assistance, which added approximately 3,400 positions.
