Healthcare Adds 21,000 Jobs in November

Monday, December 07 2009

from Andrea Santiago

The Bureau of Labor Statistics released its much-anticipated jobs report for November, and, in case you have been in a cave since Friday, you should know that the unemployment rate went DOWN for the first time since recession began. Although it was a very slight decrease, many are predicting the "beginning of the end" of the recession.

Healthcare added jobs, as expected, but not as many jobs as the previous month. The good news is that hospital job growth was strong after several months of being flat. More details linked below! Cheers, and Happy Health Careers!
