New jobs for health aides, such as caregivers, will outweigh other positions in the health field such as doctors or nurses according to Obama’s Council of Economic Advisers.
Compared to other non-health related occupations, health related fields have seen a 12% increase since 2000, of which 48% came from health care support such as home health care aides.
As the aging population continues to increase, there will no doubt be more home health care aide positions available to be filled.
