With unemployment hovering at 10%, with an additional 11,000 people losing their jobs in the month of November, somehow the health care sector is actually adding jobs. 

According to the Bureau of Labor and Statistics, hospitals added 6,800 new hires in the month of October, which brings its three month total up to 21,500 new jobs in the health care sector.  Further more thats 613,000 health care jobs created since the beginning of recession in December 2007.

Pretty crazy statistics there all things considered.  With the best health care in the world, it certainly is a great thing to see the sector still growing even in times when other divisions of the economy have fallen on seriously hard times.  Its also nice to know that when other businesses are downsizing, you can still expect top notch care when it comes to your health.
