Today, brave and noble healthcare workers are saving lives. In the future, they will be needed more than ever to save even more lives. The healthcare industry is in dire need of trained healthcare professionals, now and in the future. Reader’s Digest says the demand for trained medical personnel has skyrocketed. There hasn’t been a time in the last several decades when medical workers have been in such high demand.

Previously, the Bureau of Labor Statistics had projected that the medical career field was projected to grow by 23 percent, which is faster than most career fields. However, with the pandemic, hospitals need medical assistants more than projected estimates, which means that workers in the medical field may enjoy job security for many years to come. Also, the high demand for medical assistants and surgical technicians may also push wages to unprecedented levels.

Now may be the time to begin training as a medical assistant. The next several years may be full of economic turmoil. Many career fields may become unstable. There are likely to be layoffs in a downturn economy. Many people will struggle as a result. According to the Federal Reserve, nearly 40 percent of households suffer financially during a recession.
