Healthcare IT is among the leading markets of the employment recovery that has occurred in recent months, according to MedZilla.com, a healthcare, pharmaceutical, and biotech employment information website.

A close look of government figures shows the growth has been months in the making, according to MedZilla executives. "The statistics over the past few months have been more than encouraging,” says Del Johnston, manager of client relations at MedZilla.com.

“What we're seeing, and what we hope we'll continue to see, are new employment markets opening up where these new industries are being formed, Johnston added. “Health IT is a perfect example of this. Here you have two, previously separate industries that are rapidly growing into one another. Where the two meet you have an opportunity to explore a completely new labor pool.”..
