If you're looking for a career in Colorado, you may want to consider the various Denver medical jobs that are available, many of which have a positive outlook.
The healthcare industry itself is expected to grow by 18.3 percent between 2008 and 2018, which is faster than the 5.8 percent growth rate expected for all industries in the Denver area. That means 6,828 healthcare jobs, or about 683 jobs per year, will be created during the 10 year period.
There are currently about 155 employers in the hospital sector in the Denver-Aurora area. That includes general medical and surgical hospitals, psychiatric and substance abuse hospitals and other hospitals.
