"Employment is projected to increase by 11.5 million over the 2016-26 decade, an increase from 156.1
million to 167.6 million, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. This growth—0.7 percent
annually—is faster than the 0.5 percent rate of growth during the 2006–16 decade, a period heavily
affected by the 2007–09 recession. Health care industries and their associated occupations are expected
to account for a large share of new jobs projected through 2026, as the aging population continues to
drive demand for health care services. The labor force will continue to grow slowly and to become older
and more diverse. The aging population is projected to result in a decline in the overall labor force
participation rate over the 2016 to 2026 decade.>>"
