Employment at Florida Hospitals on the Rise
Jobs in some industries might have flatlined in the current economy, but employment at Florida hospitals is proving to be recession-proof. A University of Florida economic impact study released recently shows that the state’s hospitals added about 10,000 employees between 2007 and 2009. Florida hospitals are responsible for creating 739,078 jobs and generate $54 billion in total economic contributions, according to the study commissioned by the Florida Hospital Association and released last week. That translates to a 12 percent increase in full- and part-time employment, according to the study commissioned by the Florida Hospital Association. Hospitals are the second-largest segment of the health-care industry in Florida, behind physicians, dentists and other health-care practitioners. [Source: Gainesville Sun]
