Although the healthcare industry continues to thrive, the overall national unemployment rate is even higher than expected, having increased to 10.2 percent in October, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. 190,000 jobs were lost, bringing the country to its highest unemployment rate since 1983. The biggest job losses were in retail, manufacturing in construction.
Yet again, the most positive numbers were in the healthcare industry, which gained 29,000 jobs in October. Additionally, the healthcare industry has added a total of 597,000 jobs since the beginning of the recession. "One of the few industries where employment continued to grow during the recession has been health care," stated Keith Hall, Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics.Healthcare Adds 29,000 JobsSource: www.about.com
