Growth Potential
There has never been a better time to join the healthcare industry. Half of the 20 U.S. occupations projected to grow the fastest over the next few years are in the health services fields. Employment in healthcare administration is expected to grow fastest in practitioners’ offices and in services for home healthcare.
During the next decade, it is projected that approximately 3.5 million new jobs will exist in health services (about 16 percent of new jobs total). This number is higher than in any other industry. Hospitals constitute just 2 percent of healthcare operations, yet they employ more than 40 percent of healthcare workers. The majority of other jobs are available in the practices of individual healthcare practitioners or small groups of practitioners.
Whether you want to change your career or just want to earn more, the Healthcare Administration degree from Midway College is a great choice!
Wages for the healthcare industry are expected to increase about 28 percent by 2012, while salaries for all other industries should increase by approximately 16 percent. In addition, healthcare jobs are expected to increase faster than the population during that same time, as the older population increases and improved technology advances life expectancies.
