Medical Assistant Labor Statistics Remain Excellent

According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics employment opportunities for medical assistants remain excellent!

Wherever there are people there is a need for medical services. As a medical assistant you will work side-by-side with doctors, nurses and other healthcare practitioners in various positions, from entrance level medical assistant to senior medical assistant, from clinical medical assistant to administrative medical assistant. Bottom line: doctors will always need medical assistant staff to help them run and manage their practice efficiently. As long as there are doctors there will be jobs for medical assistants.
