General Information


  • More than 6 out of 10 workers have a bachelor’s, master’s, professional, or Ph.D. degree—more than twice the proportion for all industries combined.
  • Nearly 47 percent of all jobs are in large establishments employing more than 1,000 workers.
  • Earnings are much higher than those in other manufacturing industries. This industry ranks among the fastest growing manufacturing industries.
  • Medical records and health information technicians need a strong clinical background to analyze the contents of medical records. Other workers who need knowledge of medical terminology, anatomy, and physiology, but have little or no direct contact with the patient, include medical secretaries and medical transcriptionists.
