Comparatively speaking, healthcare is a sound destination for job stabilization (and in some sub-sectors within, job growth) in a relatively moribund economy.

Hospital payroll growth continued to sputter in May, with only 300 payroll additions reported in the entire nation, Bureau of Labor Statistics data released today show. By comparison, the hospital sector added 16,800 jobs in May 2008, and 8,700 jobs in May 2007, BLS data show.

Within the hospital-based healthcare economy, ambulatory services saw the greatest increases in payroll additions. | LINK
