Hospitals and health systems add 27,500 jobs in September
Hospitals and health systems added 27,500 jobs in September, while U.S. jobs overall increased by 263,000, according to data released today by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Total health care jobs grew by 60,100 in September to a seasonally adjusted 16.5 million.
