Health care jobs plentiful but tough to get

Published on November 4, 2009 at 11:47 PM · No Comments

While health care jobs are plentiful, "getting one is hard work," The Associated Press/The News-Sentinel reports. "Many people who have lost jobs to the recession may find a cure for unemployment in the health care field," and the demand for nurses, specialists and technicians is strong. "Meanwhile, the Obama administration touts health care as one of the industries that will drive a jobs recovery. But all this doesn't add up to easy opportunity. Many health care jobs require applicants to go back to school, receive some sort of certification and deal with at least a temporary pay cut." In addition, the nursing shortage has eased somewhat during the recession, and "there's also a nursing school faculty shortage," making it difficult to get into nurse training programs (Murphy, 11/3).
