The health care industry in the United States is growing at a tremendous rate, partly because Americans are living longer and requiring more medical attention in their elder years. 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.*
