Master’s Degree Programs in Louisiana
Known for delicious Cajun food and the bustling city of New Orleans, Louisiana also happens to have a bustling health care industry. Louisiana’s population of approximately 4.4 million will need experienced and highly-educated health care professionals to take up leadership positions in the state’s hospitals, clinics and other medical facilities. Another benefit of working in Louisiana is the state’s relatively low rate of unemployment; Louisiana’s unemployment rate was at 7.5 percent in December 2009, compared to the rest of the nation, which averaged 10 percent unemployment that month, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Some of Louisiana’s largest health care employers include Baton Rouge General, which employs more than 3,000 people; and the North Oaks Health System, which employs more than 2,500 employees. About 110,610 people were employed in careers as health care practitioners and technicians in Louisiana as of May 2008, according to national labor statistics. The average yearly salary of those working in these professions was $58,380.
