BLS Feature – Spotlight on Statistics – Health Care

Bureau of Labor Statistics, Spotlight on Statistics, November 2009, Health Care

  • “Health care touches the lives of nearly everyone in the United States at some point. For example, many are born in the delivery wing of a hospital, while others enjoy their golden years in an assisted living facility. Between these two points, whether you obtain medical insurance through your employer, seek consultation with a doctor about an illness, fill a prescription at the pharmacy, take a day of sick leave from work—or just wonder how you will pay for it all—almost everyone rubs elbows with the U.S. health care system. This Spotlight uses BLS data to shed some light on what is happening in this dynamic and interesting field. Read on to explore these data and discover the “diagnosis” on health care industries and occupations as well as the “prognosis” on future employment.”
