The healthcare industry according to the Department of Labor is the fastest growing industry in this country. There will be a need for 12 million new healthcare jobs in the next ten years and we will continue to need 12 million new jobs every 10 years for the next 50 years.
Of this growth in healthcare it is expected that 40% will be in complementary medicine, complementary healthcare and complementary therapies such as Polarity Therapy and Elemental Reflexology.
Consumers now are using Holistic Healthcare practices in record numbers. The need for Holistic Healthcare practitioners will be in great demand in the next decade! According to Businessweek, January 28, 2008 edition, “A consumer crunch now seems inevitable and job losses will increase. But there is a surprising force, says Michael Mandel of Businessweek, that could keep the bottom from falling out of the economy.” “The $3.5 trillion health and education job machine, which created 640,000 new jobs in the last year alone, propelled by aging baby boomers and rising student enrollments, healthcare jobs and school jobs are rising at a rapid rate while almost everyone else is cutting back.”
“Health and Education combined according to Mandel, from Businessweek, make up the single largest source of jobs in the US, employing 28 million people, or about 20% of the total workforce!” Remember, the demand for health-care workers is still rising and is the key stabilizer in a slumping economy.
According to the “New York Times”, January 27, 2008, “New Yorkers are cutting back on the essentials, like dry cleaning, restaurant meals, and they are looking critically at their spending.” But it seems, that people cutting back will still get their massages or bodywork sessions because they feel it is part of their self worth!
Consumers today are still seeking out more and more services and therapies, that will help their quality of life, like meditation, yoga, eating more naturally, aromatherapies, herbal medicine and bodywork such as Polarity Therapy!
