In the midst of a struggling economy, there is one sector that is rapidly growing ’ booming, in fact. That sector is health care. Just as the baby boomers flooded the market with a demand for toys and diapers in the 1950s, so are they now flooding the market with a need for increased health care.

An aging population and major changes to the healthcare system in the U.S. translates into a huge demand for skilled workers who can tend to patients in all realms of health care.

And this trend is expected to continue. In the next ten years, more and more baby boomers will reach retirement age, and changes to the health care system under ’Obamacare,’ which have already begun and will continue through 2014, include mandating health insurance for American citizens, allowing children to stay on parents’ plans until age 26 and replacing paper records with electronic records.
