The Good and Bad News of Health Care Employment. David Cutler, February 27, 2018, Paper, "Health care has long been one of the bright spots in the US employment situation. As people have moved out of manufacturing, health care has been a prominent landing place. Just this year, health care passed retail trade to become the largest employer in the economy.

Because demand for care remains relatively constant across recessions and expansions, health care employment declines less in recessions than does employment in other industries." Link
