SANTA ANA, Calif., April 26, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- In an economy where jobs in general seem to be increasingly difficult to find, positions in the health care field continue to grow and are projected to increase significantly over the next decade. According to a 2012 report published by Georgetown University's Center on Education and Workforce, there will be 5.6 million new health care jobs created by 2020. Fortunately for the workers' compensation industry, the health care field remains one of the few reliable drivers of nationwide job growth.
