As 2011 came to a close, the health care industry remained one of the most robust sources of jobs in the U.S., adding 315,000 over the past twelve months. Twenty-three thousand alone were added in December. The U.S. unemployment rate also continued its downward trend, ending December at 8.5 percent nationally. Meanwhile, outplacement research firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas reported that just under 42,000 planned job cuts were announced in December — the lowest monthly total since June.
