Healthcare is an important generator of jobs in the US even after the slowdown of the economy. It is expected to enhance job opportunities for the young generation in the coming years. The rapid rate of growth in health care jobs might be directly correlated to an increase in household consumption of healthcare services. The overall growth of healthcare will continue to spur because it is less sensitive to business cycle fluctuations.
