CT
By the Numbers is reporting on the
CT
Health Council’s campaign to highlight the importance of the health care
industry in our state’s economy. The Council, a group of health care industry
leaders, has installed a set of posters this month in the LOB to make the
point. For example, CT’s health care sector has grown 12.5% over the last seven
years and now employs 266,400 in our state. All true – agree completely. But CT
is not unique in this. A very revealing
slide show from
the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that in 2013 health care/social assistance
was the largest employer in all but 16 states, up from zero in 1990.
