Health Care / Health Science Degree & Career Prospectus
Employment in health care will continue to grow for several reasons. The number of people in older age groups, with much greater than average health care needs, will grow faster than the total population between 2006 and 2016; as a result, the demand for health care degree holders will increase. Wage and salary employment in the health care industry is projected to increase 22 percent through 2016.
Professionals and managers working in health care typically earn more than other workers in the industry. Average earnings of nonsupervisory workers in most health care segments are higher than the average for all private industry.

For example, over the 2006-16 period, total employment of home health aides—including the self-employed—is projected to increase by 49 percent, medical assistants by 35 percent, physical therapist assistants by 32 percent, and physician assistants by 27 percent.
