In 2006, there were 2.5 million registered nurses employed with nearly 60 percent of those workers working in hospitals. According to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics there is a projected increase of 23 percent over the 2006 to 2016 decade. This rate of employment will be much faster than the national average for all occupations as a result of the technological advances in medicine and patient care. A growing elderly population will also raise the demand in employment since this demographic will need more health care services.
