Spokane Healthcare Jobs in High Demand

The unemployment rate in Spokane dropped to a record low this year and jobs are on the rise. In September 2018, the unemployment rate was at 4.4 percent. The economy is expected to create about 5,000 jobs this year across many different industries.

The healthcare industry added 500 new jobs, opening up a lot of positions that need to be filled.

Restaurants, bars, and hotels have created about 1,500 jobs over the past year. This is due to a regional population growth and higher wages, leaving people with disposable income to eat out more often.

In the past 12 months, manufacturers have created about 600 jobs in Spokane County, education has added 600 jobs, and transportation and warehousing added 400 jobs.

With jobs growing it’s important to be qualified for the positions employers are looking for. If you’re looking for a job in healthcare, getting your CNA training is a good place to start. Check out the courses we have available and start your career in healthcare.
