There has been a lot of talk recently about American jobs moving overseas - offshoring is the buzzword for it. During difficult economic times it is often easy to find a scapegoat to blame for a downturn in jobs.

Healthcare is one of the hottest career fields in America today.  The aging and retiring of the largest population segment in the country, known as "baby boomers", has left the healthcare industry racing to find enough employees to fill the void.  Advances in medical technology and treatment are causing people to live longer as well.  Add the fact many universities and colleges don't have enough teachers to train new employees; there becomes a ripe market for healthcare careers.

Jobs available in healthcare lead the nation in creation and wages through 2012.  Yet, there is a severe shortage of nurses (RNs & LPNs), medical assistants, medical coders, x-ray technicians and many more.
