Los Angeles Nursing Jobs
If you're looking for a career in the healthcare industry, you may want to see what Los Angeles nursing jobs have to offer.
The Los Angeles area has a strong healthcare industry that has managed to remain stable amidst the current economic recession. During September, the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Glendale area's education and health services industry employed 513,800 workers, according to the U.S. Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics. This is up from 499,000 jobs during August and a 2.2 percent increase from last year.
According to the California Employment Development Department, registered nurses are the largest group of workers among all the healthcare occupations. Most RNs work in acute care hospitals, private clinics or private homes. They're responsible for evaluating patients' health problems and needs and providing care to ill, injured, convalescing or disabled people.
Jobs in Los Angeles Created by AnsaldoBreda
A new project will result in the creation of thousands of temporary and permanent jobs in Los Angeles.
The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transit Authority recently voted to purchase 100 AnsaldoBreda cars to be used on the current and future light rail systems, including the Gold Line, the Expo line and the Crenshaw line. Construction of the AnsaldoBreda facility itself is expected to create 2,200 full-time jobs and nearly 1,000 temporary construction jobs.
"With this agreement, we have reinforced the foundation of economic prosperity in Los Angeles," Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa. "The rail cars on the Gold Line to the San Gabriel Valley, the Crenshaw line, and the Expo line will proudly bear the label 'Made in LA,' and at a time when most cities are losing jobs, we will be bringing them back home."
