Bureau of Labor Statistics Says Healthcare Leading Market in IT Jobs Creation

Posted on 17. Aug, 2011 by Gwen Darling in Career Coaching, Careers, Employers, Featured, Job Seekers

In it’s latest Occupational Outlook Handbook, the Bureau of Labor Statistics provides a very optimistic jobs creation outlook for current and potential Healthcare IT professionals.  According to the Website:

• Employment is expected to grow much faster than the average.
• Job prospects should be very good, particularly for technicians with strong computer software skills.
• Entrants usually have an associate degree.
• This is one of the few health-related occupations in which there is no direct hands-on patient care.

Below are links to the specific sections of the report – if you’d like the PDF version, you can find it here.
