The health science industry includes establishments ranging from small-town private practice physicians who employ only one medical as- sistant to busy inner-city hospitals that provide thou- sands of diverse jobs. More than half of all non-hos- pital health service establishments employ fewer than five workers. On the other hand, almost two-thirds of hospital employees were in establishments with more than 1,000 workers. Wage and employment in the health services industry is projected to increase more than 25 percent through 2010, compared with an average of 16 percent for all industries. Employment growth is expected to account for about 2.8 million new jobs.
