The health care industry in the United States is growing fast, partly because Americans are living longer and require an increasing amount of medical attention. As the demand for health care increases, medical assistants will likely continue to have a high rate of employment. In fact, medical assisting is projected to be one of the fastest-growing occupations through 2014.*
