The Washington region is likely to see a surge in health-care jobs
through the remainder of the decade as an aging population puts a strain on the
modern workforce, according to Georgetown University researchers.
The report, produced by the university's Center for Education and the
Workforce, predicts a 25 percent increase in health-care jobs across the country
from 2010 to 2020.
Virginia is expected to add jobs at a faster clip. The commonwealth is
projected to have 482,370 health-care and social-assistance industry jobs by 2020,
a 36 percent increase over 2010 levels.

My economic sense is not all that,but would'nt the increase in jobs actually be a good thing?On one side there are those researching ways to extend lifespan.On the other side there are those complaining about people living too long.This is'nt rocket science.Like every compromise,the issue of an increased aging population needs to be met in the middle.More old people,more jobs for young people.
