Radiology Jobs Holding Steady
In the midst of a terrible slump in the overall economy and the employment market (unemployed was at 9.8% nationally in September, 2009), there are “pockets” that have not seen such depressing dropoffs. One notable area of employment that has held steady is radiology, where rad techs, x-ray technicians, MRI technicians, radiation therapists and others ply their trade.
Even during down times for the economy, the need for healthcare services remains high. The result, of course, is that demand for employees in the field remains high as well and radiology jobs have been one to hold steady. A number of entry-level positions exist in the field, so that aptitude for the work and a proper educational background can get candidates in on the “ground floor.” Ultrasound jobs, positions in mammography and sonography and other imaging jobs all fall under the broad category of radiology, and due to the nature of modern medicine, in which radiology is used frequently for both diagnosis and treatment, the field promises to continue holding steady or even growing slightly as the economy improves.
