1. Health care
Average Hourly Earnings: $23.02
We all need to see a doctor from time to time, which is why the health care industry has recession-proof salaries. As the baby boomer generation ages, health care needs are expected to rise greatly--good news for jobs in this industry. Union employees in health care may even see a slight rise in salary in tough times, which may be particularly important to nurses and entry-level employees who don't earn the highest salaries. If you're considering joining the health care labor force, look beyond jobs such as a doctor or nurse; many duties now fulfilled by doctors and nurses are expected to shift to health care aides. To fulfill the needs of the growing elderly population, home care aides and physical therapists will also be a hot commodity. The U.S. Department of Labor expects a whopping 24 percent growth by 2018 for the health care industry--a sure sign of both job and salary security.

Yes, can't every RN and MD see it now, all diagnosing and the ordering of medications and diagnostics will be shifted to the 'highly educated and well prepared aides". Its time to get the H*** out of this foolish country. Sounds to me like they are trying to kill off the baby boomers who they have pushed out of their jobs with no means to support themselves and will now be relying on public funds to live off of (Medicare and Medicaid) and not be held responsible for the deadly aftermath by being able to escape prosecution because the aids don't have licenses or the education to be doing any of it. Just pull in some young poorly and inadequately educated street corner bum into the "nursing profession. This country is just full of geniuses. The intelligence is just astounding.
By the way- there is a FEDERAL law that protects the title of "Nurse" - to be called a "Nurse" you actually have to be one and there is another law that states specifically in steps how to be come a "nurse"- you have to attend and graduate and pass NCLEX to have the LEGAL right to call yourself a "NURSE" Its called a NURSE PRACTICE ACT. All 50 states in the country has one(a NURSE PRACTICE ACT) Calling your self a "NURSE" when you do not have a NURSING license is a FELONY offense.
