News To Know: Healthy Growth in Health Care Sector

By Dave Goldstein, March 9, 2009 11:12 AM

Last week's unemployment report was just one more piece of bad news in what seems like an endless stream of negative numbers regarding our economy. The labor market has been shedding jobs left and right, yet despite all the bad news, the health care industry continues to hire new employees. While the country as a whole lost millions of jobs over the last four months, health care added about 100,000 during the same period. One bright spot in a pretty dark report.
