SDSU Online Health Care Courses

Occupations and industries related to health care are projected to add the most new jobs in the U.S. during the 10-year period ending in 2022, according to the latest projections by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). The BLS reports: “The health care and social assistance sector is projected to grow at an annual rate of 2.6 percent, adding 5.0 million jobs between 2012 and 2022.
